Like the Jack Straw earlier, they take a slower deliberate pace to create a new vibe. Here you can hear them jam with over the sound of a train. Cool.

Strange, almost experimentally slower version with some problems, but different guitar lines. Almost a novelty.

Anthemic version with great chorus vocals. Could be the closing music for a great western movie.

The transition jam back to NFA is one of the trippiest, dreamy, paintbrushes of sound ones I know.

Our boys give in to the heckler and rip out a classic Truckin' here. Great rock and roll here with a punchy, aggressive vibe and great soloing.

BTW at its best. This accelerates in a perfect arc from its tentative and sheepish first lines of regret walking the blue highway towards its outraged manic triumphant 180° turn. Go back and get hurt again, Bobby, do it....

Jerry's solo at 3:30 is a pristine three-chorus example of soloing over changes. Just killer, it is.

All about the reprise. This one cooks.

Powerful doesn't begin to describe it. This is the Dangerous Dead, though pretty short for the era. This is the era when the Avalon would hold them to one-hour sets and the night before they cut off the electricity, so perhaps they were reigning it in.

Starts a little unfocused, but comes out of the drum solo and transitions into Caution with blow-your-hair-back force.
