Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

You know the guys are feelin' hot when they play this and here's a slow, down 'n' dirty groovy Winter 73 read of it

For a half hour on this night the dead caught fire
Mind Left Body Jam
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

this is revelatory stuff. Proof that Truckin' was one of their greatest vehicles for jamming in the 70's. Keith and Phil are wood shedding on this. It's the hottest Truckin' ever for good reason lol
Truckin'

OK so so heavy. A textbook "Trucksplosion" into a Nobody's Fault jam into a volcanic GDTRFB
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Yes indeed. Tres spicy multigalactic Playin' in the Band sandwich that goes the extra mile and how, then sum more. Bakersfield chickin pikin' to open going straight into something that sounds like Weather report or even Pat metheny group, it's just that fucking good the jamming is. Garcia is activated and billy is channeling dejohnette and elvin as well. Holy cow this is psychedlic. Must-hear for this initial version alone, not to speak of El paso wharf and morning dew weaving and DS teasing. Reprising like a broadway musical of just good ole 73.
