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

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

Dancin' in the Streets
March 21, 1970
Capitol Theater

As a musician I can tell you that jamming over Dancin' is pretty good goddamned fun stuff, and you can always tell when they're enjoying themselves on it. I've said it elsewhere, but here again: Dancin' is one of the most underrated of their extended jam vehicles. They take off on this one and just play the bejezzus out of it.
Viola Lee Blues
March 21, 1970
Capitol Theater

Steady and slower than others... at first. Then the burners kick in and it just takes off with incredible force and full metal raging. It then leads into the 7/4 jam known by some as "The Seven". A huge Viola Lee and a must-hear for fans of the early stuff.
He Was A Friend of Mine

Capitol Theater

Smooth and sweet, with some trippy tape degrade and wobble/panning on the AUD that for me adds to the warmth and intimacy of the experience of listening to this rare great.
Viola Lee Blues
March 20, 1970
Capitol Theater

Serious power. They give it all they got and it shows off so much of where they were at: pivoting between the explosive psychedelia and the deep country sounds. What shows these were.... Oh my.
Katie Mae

Capitol Theater

Oh Katie. Even your most militant Brent-era fan should check this beauty out to get back into the blues roots of our beloved band. All Katie Maes are worth an plus one, but this one is extra sweet.
