Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

BeggarsTomb summed it up. Really from Peggy-O on through this Goin Down The Road, the Dead were 100% on fire this night.

Spectacular version. As much jazz as it is funk and much different than what I'm used to.
Truckin'

This monumental jam makes me want to catch a ride on a spaceship with Capt. Dead2ThaCore. Ride, Captain, Ride!

I find this song and this version of this song very powerful
Weather Report Suite
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum
