This a JGB version. This one always gets me emotional. One of the best R&Cs ever performed. Jerry’s voice!

Great version. Love Jerry’s MIDI effects on this, and Bruce and Vince kill it. Great video of the show from Shakedown Stream.

Truckin'

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!
