Surprised it's not here yet...Jerry's solos are succinct but lively and emphatic. Solid 74 version

Billy & Mickey really turn up the speed and intensity in the second half, getting locked the fuck in

It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Dec. 5, 1969
Fillmore West

Coming out of "The Main Ten" (which became the Playin' reprise segue), this is a long, slow, emotional and beautiful Baby Blue. A wrinkle in time.

Laguna Seca Recreation Area

A nice later-days Sugar Mag, less of a Jerry shredfest than 70s versions, but beautiful power in the ensemble

Selland Arena

While not as firey hot as other Sugar Mags, this one has a more confident gentle beauty to it.

I think this should be higher. Maybe my favorite 90s version I've heard.
