What can I say, I love Bobby and i love this tune. This naturally quirky song is executed perfectly, as with most outings in spring/summer '85

Rapid fire version out of a heady space. Jam is high octane

Smokestack Lightnin'

Big, boisterous blues jam in this. Excellent landing pad for a smokin' version of Truckin' and the boys jam nicely on the number before drums > space. Check it

I've been in a huge 89'-90' dead era cycle lately (particularly for Garcia's proclivity for Hendrixian shredding sorcery) and this Truckin' > Smokestack is so filthy, that I immediately respun. The Truckin' itself hits a tizzy of a windup and Bobby effortlessly segues them into a bar room brawl version of Smokestack. Highly recommend'd

Comment on variety of jams is spot on. They tie together nicely at several points, with several distinct themes
