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

Constanten really adds to the texture of this, exciting feedback!

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

Too meandering, 4/16, 4/21, 5/3, and 5/13 are all much better versions from the Europe tour. Take 4/21 for example, one of the best TOOs of '72, but unfortunately overlooked. The Truckin' that precedes this and the following Morning Dew and Sing Me Back Home are all A+ versions, but this TOO is the weakest of the bunch.

I've heard this one a few times and i've always liked it, but this last listen really opened my eyes to this version. It's heavenly.

When Jerry peaks the transition.. Has to be one of the greatest moments they ever had.
