Pretty trippy one bridging the gap between an epic Truckin' and a pretty great TOO

They really attack it as opposed to sauntering through it…one of the most energetic I’ve heard! Don't let an audience tape scare ya...

Some great playing by Bob in the transition on this one. Bit of a different pulse to this IKYR.

Neat entrance by Phil on this one.

Definitely brisker than usual. Still a very good version, but I actually prefer the usual slower tempo for this one. There are a few other songs I wish were faster in '77 (Bertha needs to be fast IMO), but not this one.

My favourite as well. Some great harmonica work from Pig. Like the Mexicali that precedes it, kind of a peculiar placement, falling after the jam suite, late in the second set. However, in both cases I think it's kind of neat for a change and renews your focus on them...

Agree with Carrion_Crow...they hit the sweet spot as far as the tempo is concerned on this version. Perfect groove.
