Top drawer performance in a stellar show is probably why no-one has rated this yet.

From the last GD show at the Fillmore West. Jerry sings this beautifully,perfectly and the whole thing just sort of lopes along at a nice gentle swing

Truckin'
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

Whoa there, a Truckin' that lives up to its name. Just like the DooDah Man, this acoustic version just lopes along, perfectly sung in a show with some of the best singing I've heard from the band. NRPS members pop up in the mix. Very different from those wonderful 1973-74 extended jammed out versions. This song just trucks along,more or less in line. JOY!

Were they late for something?!? The boys really tear through this ,but direct and sharp and absolutely on point. Precision and inventive. One of the best.

Also, Bobby sings very different lyrics in The Other One.
