Jerry nails the lyrics, nice interplay with Brent and Jerry, and a great crowd reaction. Seriously fun version.

Road Trips Vol. 3, No. 4. There is something about that Hammond Organ that makes this song like a church hymn. Strong version.

Nucking Futs way to end a show! Pig invites the crowd up to help in the rap on his mic and say whatever they want!

Explodes out of a rockin' St. Stephen and carries that energy all the way through to Lovelight. I'm shocked their equipment didn't spontaneously erupt

Fuzzy recording but the energy on this Stephen cannot be denied.

Incredible mellow start that just ramps up throughout the song. Phil is definitely leading this march.

There are certain songs that are enhanced by the aging in Jerry's voice. This is definitely one of them. It really sounds like a down on his luck man coming from a sad place but still hoping for one last break of luck. And Jerry's interaction with Brent on this Version is amazing.

Of all the split versions of Sugar Mag/Sunshine, this one has to be the best. Awesome energy on the Sugar Mag side. Brent's key work is phenomenal!

An absolutely great version! An encore to a killer show and during a lunar eclipse! What more do you want? And Jerry's voice sounding older and raspier gives it a different feel than the late 60's, early 70's versions. Not only that but over 15 minutes as an encore!? This version is just amazing on many levels.

And Brent is absolutely killing it. That triple key swipe after the "walk around" line will always bring me back to this version.
