This week's edition of the Grateful Dead's "All The Years Live" series takes Deadheads back to the band's legendary eight-night run at New York City's Madison Square Garden for a 10/30/80 version of "Truckin'."
Adds GD archivist/legacy manager David Lemieux, "From the penultimate show of the Radio City Music Hall run in 1980, 'Truckin'' was also a great song to launch the second set jam. During this period, 'Truckin'' was generally slotted in one of two places: before the Drums/Space sequence, sending the Dead into an uninterrupted hour-long segued sequence of music, or coming out of Space. Toward the end of the 1980s, it was used almost exclusively in the former slot, but the latter placement of 'Truckin'' always began a wonderful, uninterrupted, and long sequence of Dead magic."
