Can't believe this isn't listed! Really massive verison with not one, but two slipknot teases. Jerry is on fire!!

May be the best of the early versions. Has that '73 bounce, but with something a little extra.

So very tender. Check out Jerry's beautiful solo during the bridge!

OMG!!!! This may just be the the best. Only downside is a brutal cut at the climax of Jerry's solo during the bridge...but this is still a must hear!

Probably the best version of the song IMO. Phil drops some serious thunder!

One of my favorites. A soaring version that caps off one of the best jam sequences of the year.

Really HOT Truckin>Other One jam from an otherwise sub par show. Worth it to hear this one awesome segment though.

Energetic as usual for '74. The "Wood Green" jam out of this one makes it really interesting.

Wild and hairy blues-rock jamming out of this one, with Jerry bending the hell out of the strings...one of the best Truckin jams ever, should be ranked higher!
