Talk about a sleeper...along with the "PITB" before it, this is probably the last time the Grateful Dead really went the distance in terms of jamming.

Searing work from Brent in a typically strong 1989 version. Surprised this was represented from a legendary show.

Creepy crawly version with lots of different themes and moods just like all good Spaces.

Not exceptionally long but still a very good version. Phil's great here.

Truckin'

World Music Theatre

I just listened to this show in full the other day...it's brilliant. So tight and clean. Brent went out on top. This "Truckin'" is a monster. Great jam into a killer "Smokestack."

This is as good as this song gets. Flawless rendition. Jerry gets the lyrics right and delivers them with confidence.

Bobby's support behind Jerry's absolutely brilliant transition solo is heavenly.

Bob's vocals are so ballsy here! Great jam, too.

Only 11 minutes into this one and already I've been transported.
