All the all-time Sugarees from early 77 start here folks, and they're already sublime. Keith shines.

Winterland Arena

Are you kidding?! How could this high-energy romp not even be nominated once? Comes out of a killer Franklin's. Listen now!

St. Louis Arena

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

this spring run of shows is superb for several first set standards -- peggy o, loser, candyman, and every IAON has great energy -- check them all out!

Veterans Memorial Auditorium

Such a genuine rendition, really beautiful.

Orpheum Theater

Listened to this again tonight -- part of an absolutely incredible 80 minute sequence that's the sweetest, dreamiest stuff I've ever heard the boys play. Some all-time Dead moments happen in this Stella -- totally out of this world.
