Truckin Jam gets crazy with Jerry playing bluesy overdrive guitar by himself.
Sweet solos on Truckin.
Then they roll right into a down and dirty Truckin.
During Truckin' Bobby says “Aint it a f****** shame?"
SMOKING Truckin into Other One.
Jerry smokes the solo in a long nine minute Truckin into a short two and a half minute Drums followed by a massive twenty minute Other One.
I can't say the Truckin' is anything particularly special but it hits within the set so perfectly.
Gnarly Truckin' with a Jerry overdrive solo right into a raunchy Smokestack Lightning.
In fact, the whole second set is just jam heaven with Estimated Prophet, Eyes of the World, Uncle John's Band, Truckin'.
