Cool Sugar Mag>Scarlet Begonias>SSDD sammy. Is this the only one like it? The SSDD kicks ass.

I won't say best, but there's a very cool Hawaiian vibe with Jerry and Bobby backing Keith's solo around the fifth minute.

Swaggering gospel here, with all the muscle and might befitting the song. Bobby's having a blast.

Jam starts to bubble and boil and rolls on with great creative force. Very cool '76 sound, and a great mix with Bobby and Phil interaction on display

Really short, but very tight. Jerry ends with a cascading riff that sounds like spotaneous composition. Anyone know if they played this jam again?

Hella great energy: Just savage at the transition point from LL>Sup, and Bobby tears it up like his life depended on it.

New C. Miller cleanup makes this an fun-fest, even if they just can't seem to get the monitors right....

There's another funky electric version on the recently posted Charlie Miller cleanup of 23 December 1970, which is different, but also freakin' fantastic.

gdtrfb Era E: Is this the same as the dubiously dated 17 December 1970 on the Archive? I don't have the Family Dog stuff. If it is, it's freakin' hot stuff.

The Matrix

Questionable date, but unquestionably awesome. Should be much higher - and the alternative date (October 4, 1970) proposed by some commentators on the archive is not up here - so listen up, heads, this one is the goods.
