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?

Whole show is underrated.

Absolutely sick version, with a simmering Pig rap that's got some sizzling backing work by the ghee-tars. The sneak-it-in China Cat sandwich is a cool surprise (how many times did that ever happen?), and the reprise is full throttle. Fun stuff.

Unique jam, and an atypical rap for the time.

Tragic cut about five minutes in, followed by an unlisted Big Railroad Blues. It's a pity too, because the jam is a real heater, and we have to be happy with what we got.

La Bamba jam. It's definitely there. The cool groove starting at 19:30 is a la la la la Bamba and lasts about a minute and a half. Cool stuff!
