Toe-tappin' and up-tempo with great vocals - Phil sounds amazing on the out chorus. Fun stuff!

The last 35 min of this show are just beautiful. From NFA till the end it's just smooth sailing goddamned good times Grateful Dead. Enjoy.

Good Lovin'

No Pig rap or sonic dose of the clap like others from the era, a a glorious slow-boiling jam over 18 minutes well worth the listen.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Peak Dead all week long, but this show (and the incomplete 25th) are just note for note perfect all round. This one is a stunner.

Not really a complete song, more like a short jam section of the NFA>GDTRFB>NFA, (same chords, same hambone, same clavé....) but very cool all the same. Very cool indeed.
Truckin'
April 18, 1971
Lusk Field House - State University Of New York

Some wobbly vocals, which may be a tape speed problem (?), but a crunching, blistering solo from Jerry and a "fun-was-had-by-all" feelgood party feeling to it, warts and all.
Truckin'
May 13, 1978
The Spectrum

Cucamonga's right. This is special. The whole set is one continuous jam, which after a pretty spaced-out Playin' and a looooooooooong d/s leads into this fun run through a different approach to Truckin'.
The Other One
Aug. 22, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Constantly inventive, at times chaotic, at other times spontaneously melodic: a beautiful long ride with many twists and turns. Beautiful one-of-a-kind (correct me if I'm wrong guys and gals!) jam starts in around 11:20, and another one at 25:20. What a show!
