I can't believe there's Deadheads out there that don't like this song. Makes zero sense to me. Such a fun and rockin' song particularly on this tour

The Europe '72 versions do sound very mellow, they're not showstopping versions like they would become in '74 but they are awesome. This one sounds similar to the 4/17 version for its mellowness and exceptional playing

"Hey everybody, you may have noticed that we take a lot of time in between songs and that's because we're grossly inefficient." Incredible Bobby quote after this great version

Agreed, Truckin, TN Jed, then Chinatown Shuffle to open....best of the tour so far. And they killed every Truckin' on this tour
