Very committed, emotional lyrics from Jerry (in addition to stellar guitar).

like most of this date, Jerry is spot on with both vocals and solos
Truckin'

Golden Hall

starts off low energy, then SOARS.

This version deserves some attention - it is on Dick's Picks 35, but the concert doesn't seem to be on the Internet Archive so maybe it is overlooked. There are many other worthy tracks from 8/7/71 on DP35.

I love this slow version.
