Playin with reprise is about 18 minutes with common UJB sangwich. Hot version probably just overshadowed by the next night!

Hot Bucket to start this epic show. You can just tell from the opening notes that they were ready to bring it!

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.
