Ballsy and rockin with great energy, flows from HCS and then seamless into a great TOO. It's what's great about Truckin.

Short and tight, follows a monster Bird Song and develops this great show's great energy.

Lifts you off the ground like an ocean wave: A beautiful, buoyant, Phil-driven jam.

May just be the best ever.

Oh yeah, this one sizzles. The Lightning portion is a bit short, but the great tightness and exhuberence to the Supplication makes up for it.

December '71 is one of the most consistently perfect months in Dead history. This tour has so many highlights its an embarrassment of riches, and has some of the best vocals ever.

Shows the genius of the group. The segue follows several other examples of surprising song melding throughout the second set. What fun. Check out the TOO>MAMUJam>TOO>Sittin' On Top Of The World>TOO a few minutes prior. Makes me think they were putting Keith to the test, saying 'alright freshman, how about we play every single thing we know all at once and make it sound amazing'...!

Freshness and power to the early versions. Jer's voice is strong and this one's a beaut.
