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!

Not Fade Away

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

Its All Over Now

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

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

High Time

Right on, Carrion, Donna was great this whole run. This show is a perfect slow groove, with this High Time played AFTER Stephen ) Eyes ) LIG . . . Unbelievable stuff

Jerry's second slide solo is unreal. My go-to Jimmy, along with 77-03-20. Perfectly described by Cuse above. Have absolutely no idea why this only has two votes, as this tape definitely makes the rounds . . .

If you want to hear Jerry at his best vocally, listen to this.
Samson and Delilah
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

Great version, this one gets pretty nasty, thanks for the rec.
Dancin' in the Streets

Swing Auditorium

Carrion Crow hit the nail on the head: incredibly shredding good time vibe! Listen now at all costs!
