Long and ferocious version that hardly lets up for a second. One of the best moments of an underrated show.

Ramble On Rose
Nov. 17, 1973
Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Probably the best version of the song IMO. Phil drops some serious thunder!
Wharf Rat

Providence Civic Center

One of my favorites. A soaring version that caps off one of the best jam sequences of the year.
Truckin'
May 12, 1974
University of Nevada

Really HOT Truckin>Other One jam from an otherwise sub par show. Worth it to hear this one awesome segment though.
Truckin'
Sept. 9, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Energetic as usual for '74. The "Wood Green" jam out of this one makes it really interesting.

Wild and hairy blues-rock jamming out of this one, with Jerry bending the hell out of the strings...one of the best Truckin jams ever, should be ranked higher!
