Winterland Arena

An overlooked version because of the famous movie version from the 19th October, but good and on the money.

They really groove on the outro vocals-no shrieking,just driving on and on. Not at the top but a VG 78 version

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!
Monkey and the Engineer
Dec. 26, 1969
McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

minutes of joy. Best Bobby vocals ever, sweet and just exactly perfect!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena

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.
Deal
Dec. 10, 1973
Charlotte Coliseum

One of the top 5 from 1973. A "4 Aces" Deal.

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