Oh. My. GOD. The jam is long as hell, but the playing is hot. The peak at 18:52 is absolutley UNREAL

Definitely an epic jam with a sick-ass Truckin'. Underrated show too.

One of my favorite versions ever. It's so good, I don't even mind the turkey gobble sounding tape "effects".

WOW!! Effing siiiick buildup in this jam!!!! A must hear. Segues into a sweet NBFBM with some cool Other One-ish type riffs/teases too.
