And it's just got X Factor spilled all over the sponge. Spoiler - this is going to sound a bit different than you expect. Sugar Mag starts strong, warming up for the famed Eyes. It's just a standout Playing (of which there are a dearth in '76). There are several distinct sections and some great Phil. Some have said that this is like a '74, but I hear the '73 jazz stuff in the center. After some GOGD comes the notable Playin'.
