So clean, perfectly executed - acoustic butter

Not usually my song, but this one cranks into hyper speed, with Brent preaching on the organ and Jerry nailing the licks

Hampton Coliseum

Not the longest version, but hot with some interesting diversions into different territory than a normal Truckin'. Segues effortlessly into Stella

Fiery version - Jerry is ON. Mothership on hype. Worthy of a focused spin

Jerry's vocal tones and acoustic touches churn itself its so damn buttery.

SO grateful to have this top tier show on crisp soundboard now with the new release. My god this version SLAYS. And to the first comment, I thought the same exact thing in the opening beat - is this technically disco?? Jerry's tone and phrasing on the initial solo is everything... The band swells around him to a massive peak. This version is a scorcher...

The cathartic peak to cap the spiritual roller coaster of this legendary second set. The peak in this is gorgeous. The boys bring the crowd back to earth with a sugar mags to ultimately close out this top tier set.
Spanish Jam

Hartford Civic Center

Ethereal jam, the sound of what floating would feel like. Less aggressively "Spanish Jam" chord crunches like other versions, more hints of the song structure in deep exploration while jamming

This needs more dap. Peppy, tight, fluid jamming throughout and the highlight outro solo is like peeking into a spiritual musical conversation between Brent and Jerry. So, so good.
