Powerful Truckin' opener. Start to another one of those slinky 85 combos -- Truckin'>SS>High Time

I used to love 'bama openers. I think the Dead may have liked Maine just a bit.

Loved Brent's vocals and organ on this song. I do feel that 12/26/79 is the best ever. Over the years this song seemed to always be consistently good.

No doubts. A beautiful version and it is the best. So very heartfelt and a great transition after the 3-headed monster that starts this 2nd set. Not sure why the song wasn't included on Built to Last or why it didn't stay in the lineup. Jerry had his reasons I'm sure.
