Lots of submissions from this show. 2 well-played sets - this is my favorite Stagger Lee, not sure exactly why it just has IT.

The freakin harmonies on this one I miss that trio singing Euro 72 style. Back when Phil could sing that high

This one gets up here for Brent's creativity during the Jam. UJB sandwich 2nd set is sweet.

This is one of my favorite versions also. The band is on fire at the Creek.

Tight, smooth and very energetic version. 6/18 is maybe a tick better to me, but there is no denying this excellent version. Love the bridge in to Big River.
