Truckin'

Oklahoma City Music Hall

Just when it seems like they've decided on O1 as the jam vehicle of choice, they suddenly switch to a great Truckin'.

Nice extended jam on this one, with Pig driving the band to new heights.

Turn On Your Love Light

Academy of Music

Pig takes the wheel on a wild ride through the funk dimension. "I know you got it hid away someplace, 'cuz I've been there before."

Sugar Magnolia->Caution->Uncle John's Band is a very cool sequence, kind of a preview of the Europe 72 jams.

Chinatown Shuffle

Winterland Arena

One of the earliest Shuffles, and it's a good one. Pig sings some lyrics differently, and I dig the organ/piano combo.

Century II Convention Hall

Excellent version. Definitely one of the best from Nov. '72, and my personal favorite from that month.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
July 16, 1972
Dillon Stadium

Berry leads the way into GDTRFB with a powerful bass riff, so he must have been familiar with the tune already. As a huge B.O. fan, I really dig his interpretation.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 17, 1972
Fox Theatre

Listened to this one again while on a rainy walk, and it's definitely the best standalone Playing from October. Not sure why 10/26 is ranked so much higher.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Nov. 26, 1972
San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Jerry sounds like he's channeling Dick Dale on this one.
Sugar Magnolia
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Absolutely deserves a listen. This is yet another excellent Sugar Mag in a month filled with superb ones.
