Dear God this is criminally underrated! SBD quality is amazing for 68 too.

I finally found it! This one has one of my favorite Sugar Mag Jerry runs at 3:56. Fuck that's perfect

State Fairgrounds Coliseum

That flawless transition from Stella Blue really makes this version stand out from the get go. Such a natural and expressive NFA.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

73 perfection. Could not execute this song better. Into a beautiful Nobody's Fault But Mine to boot.
