Seems like this one is going nowhere....band/Jerry sneeks up on you, and all of a sudden you are in the midst of a high octane groovefest!!!!

Epic show opener (I mean how many Scarlet OPENERS were there really?!) and a ton 'o fun!!!

Epic slow-burning funk. Gets better as it goes, and as Garica gets louder in the mix...one of my favorite stand alones!

A fantasticly jazzed out version, Garica's long slithering solo is the longest to date...

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.

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!
