Real meaty version by everyone. I like these 1979 ones more than the 1977 versions. Just as tight, but meatier.

Really hot music here from an epic show of 1979. I am really surprised this isn't on here yet.

My favorite version to start of a perfect post-drums to an epic show.

Some of the best deals come from the 90'S. Almost 10 mins and Jer at his best.

Valid points. I am not sure they ever nailed the lyrics for UJB..LOL. Instrumentally, I love this one. The flow of the whole pre-drums is something special...even better than 10/9.

Is 8/24/68 the definitive? Yes....But this merits an upvote.

This is probably more reminiscent of the later E72 Truckin's that get serious hype, such as 5/26/72. Funny how they stretched this before E72 and then it took awhile on the tour to get it back at 18 mins. The last 6 minute jazzy jam is initiated by Phil. Its a hot Truckin' to open and then has some serious goodness to close it out. Phil tries to get the O1 going but it leads into Drums before they all get on board for an epic O1>MAMU>O1. With that being said, this one easily could be top 5!

I am going to pour more sugar on this one...It has the perfect amount of Rap and Jamming at 17 mins.
