Just see the video "Truckin Up to Buffalo" - perfect end to a GRATE show

The version on "Without a Net" is pretty surprisingly absent from this list!

Interplay between Jerry and Brent and the Phil bombs stand out for me.

Jerry really gives it his all at the end. Also the last version with the line "doesn't matter anyway" at the end of the song.

Is this March 73 or Europe 72?! At one point, it almost becomes Stella and then comes ROARING back. This is one of the best! Definitely needs more upvotes. And a release. That drop into Eyes is so sublime, it brought a smile to my stolen face.

Check out the post-Eyes-jam Jerry jam. And the NFA is no slouch either!

Jerry leads a funky jam before the final refrain, which is the highlight of this performance.
