Truckin'
Nov. 14, 1972
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.

Morning Dew

Springfield Civic Center

No way man, this is a great version. Well executed and full of energy from that nice Jam.
Feelin' Groovy Jam
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

Great Jam! There's even some New Speedway Boogie happening for a bit. The whole Truckin->Jam->Dew sequence is a nice preview of the 73-74 style.
Casey Jones
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Pretty ragged vocals, and Jerry blows the solo, so I can't give this one a vote. I think 9/17 is the best September Casey.
Cold Rain and Snow
April 17, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

Best Europe '72 version, even better than the one on Steppin' Out.
Ramble On Rose
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

Best summer '72 version.
