Alligator>China Cat>Eleven>Alligator - speaks for itself. The only crime here is I wish the 2nd Alligator was way longer!

You can clearly hear the first part of this jam was used on Anthem of the Sun - it's out of this world!!

Longish jam starts off pretty loose with an early Thirteens from Phil, but tightens up nicely with some killer Jerry to bring it on home!

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!
