Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

The Other One
Aug. 15, 1971
Berkeley Community Theater

As Carrion_Crow pointed out, perfect form here. Bill carries the shuffle-magic from Truckin' into an exciting Drums, with leads into a spacey TOO > MAMU > TOO. I love these '71 cowboy spaces.
Playin' In The Band

Denver Coliseum

Incredible in every sense of the word. The segues in and out of El Paso and Wharf Rat are perfect, and they jazz the the Playins beyond reason. Late '73 is probably their most jazzy, and as a result: They are at their most creative here.

Came here for this, glad to see this at the top. The sloppy vocals makes it more rowdy and rocked in my opinion, the band goes into a frenzy via Keith & Jerry. Too good!
The Eleven

Fillmore East

What an intro! Shamefully overlooked, great show!
Truckin'
Oct. 21, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Uninspired playing, the only thing notable here is that they actually sing the verses correctly - not even close to being a good '71 version; 11/15/71 knocks this one out of the park twice.
