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

Positively dynamite, warp-speed version. May be the greatest ever!

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.

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!
