It's so apt that The Wheel would roll into Truckin' that the outro is short but the rest is very nice.

Jerry really mines the changes on this one and pulls out plenty of little gold nuggets (like Coltrane). Good interplay, too. An inspired version.

Incomplete, but what remains is top-notch and essential.

I like a little bit of whimsy in a Jed or Ramble on Rose solo and this one doesn't disappoint.
