This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

Great version with an interesting jam that flows nicely into Eyes.

State Fairgrounds

Rocking, loose great version. Ending jam does indeed go all over the place.
Sugaree
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

Amazing just when you think Jerry can't come up with one more thought during these solos. He does. This really is a great Sugaree, maybe the true highlight of a show full of them.
Alabama Getaway
Dec. 26, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Most jamming version. Jerry just goes nuts.
