The Scope

Jazzy, speedy and energetic...but don't let the grimey SQ deter you...this is worth it!

Manor Downs

Mournful and Triumphant all at once. A mind-crushing outro by JG...best of the '70s IMO.

Excellent, rocking, and very underrated version from a great period for the band...

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

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

Providence Civic Center

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

University of Nevada

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

Alexandra Palace

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!
