Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

Truckin'

As the jam is about to go into the verse reprise, Keith and Bob fire up a little two-chord that explodes before finally returning to the verse again. Really groovy version, even more so than other Europe versions. But the Keith/Bob explosion at before the verse reprise is hella fun. EDIT: I have to add this and the 5/3 Truckin's are the the best ones from the tour, they execute them perfectly (apart from Bob missing a line in this one, but the mind-gazzling jam outweighs that by a ton.)

Really cool start to be honest, they loosen up after they fuck up. Lovely stuff.

Easy to forget what you're doing when listening to this version. The faster we go, the rounder we get!
