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

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

I had to put this up. It's basically NFA "containing" Iko, as if Iko (the first played) sprang up from the body of NFA, rather than a song of its own

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!

First time played often has some magic in it; this is no exception, especially something this cheeky; long, too, like they don't know how to close it

Nice version, but Jerry's voice here is just shot. A shame, cuz the band is really dialed in.

Silky . . . Jerry strikes a great tone in the solo with the Travis Bean -- love it!

Great energy, Jerry is really up and the boys work together magically throughout this tune like much of this run.

Jerry gets the words wrong a bit at the beginning, but this is my go-to Peggy-O -- the band is connected, Jerry has a lovely solo, and the groove is just perfect. Later in the set is a Row Jimmy for all-time as well. Great show.
