Really inspired, a kicking wisteria ode to the crackle of 72 versions. Long island love, big man goes off in this one, walls of devils too

Truckin'
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

my favorite truckin' up there with the 5/19/74 one. Three trucksplosions, the first one is technically botched at the climax but jerry insistingly, reassuringly leads them into going back for a second, even more crescendoing time, as if to remind us of what the group is capable of, still louder, and they land it, the impact bracing for miles around the perimeter of this nuclear trucksplosion', followed by a third trucksplosion with a minor modal jam (something. beethoven or the Romantic orchestrals of the time would have put) into improv
