The jittery bridge between an epic, 19-min Truckin' and a pretty cool TOO...

Kicks off an epic 34-song show in style with an excellent solo from Keith!

Jerry's voice certainly wasn't as enchanting in '84 as it was in '77, which matters for this song IMO, but instrumentally this version more than holds up!

Very slinky, sensual pace and vibe to this one. Prefer the famous versions from later in '71, but this one is very cool in its own right.

Listening on the American Beauty 50th Anniversary Deluxe...this one has a cool pulse to it!

Seriously underrated IMO. This one really has that lysergic bubbling energy to it -- I rewinded to listen twice today!
