You need the Sir Mick source on IA as some of the shows seem to be the night before. Muddy sound but a good version of the few times this song was pla

Truckin'
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

Whoa there, a Truckin' that lives up to its name. Just like the DooDah Man, this acoustic version just lopes along, perfectly sung in a show with some of the best singing I've heard from the band. NRPS members pop up in the mix. Very different from those wonderful 1973-74 extended jammed out versions. This song just trucks along,more or less in line. JOY!
Monkey and the Engineer

minutes of joy. Best Bobby vocals ever, sweet and just exactly perfect!

Were they late for something?!? The boys really tear through this ,but direct and sharp and absolutely on point. Precision and inventive. One of the best.
Deal

One of the top 5 from 1973. A "4 Aces" Deal.
