One of the craziest, spaciest, and wacky versions you’ll ever hear

The final version from an epic China>Rider. Doesn’t get any better

One of the best versions of this song that Jerry did. There seems to be 2 guitar players on this track. Anyone have any info on that?

Kevin Tobin just put out a nice video of this Garcia/Kahn show with great audio. I didn’t know they played this one as a duo. Great version!

Surprised this version isn’t on here. Bobby’s vocals and playing are great, and Brent’s verse and solo really make this a top tier version

Truckin'
March 28, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

This might be my favorite show opening sequence ever. The first chorus in this Truckin is the most reminiscent of the studio version imho, and the jam into Smokestack is wonderful. Great Smokestack w/ Matt Kelly on harmonica. It goes into a beautiful High Time. Jerry’s voice, though rugged, is just right.

Love this LLR. Jerry rips it up in pieces at the end with some nice vocals from Bobby. It segues nicely into a great version of Deal

Love this version. The extended jam ‘cause of issues with Bobby’s mic makes this version extra special.

I definitely prefer the slower versions(especially with Brent), but this FOTD is the best of the faster arrangement imho. Bill’s drum groove kills!
