Ohhh man this one is red hot. Criminally underrated and I believe it to be a top-notch Truckin'. This is just blistering all the way through and a part of an incredible hour of Dead jamming

Intro from that incredible 4 minute Dark Star is sublime and this version just hits exactly where you want it to. Right there next to the Veneta version, this song is a personal favorite. Damn. This one is just so special

Oh man.....this China Cat SOARS at about 7.5 minutes in and this one is unique up until then but just an incredible version. '73 is criminally underrated when compared to '72 and '77!!!!!
