I truly tried not to do this, but of course I am listening to the entire damned 30 Trips Around The World box right now instead of waiting for the shiny versions out in September.

The Scarlet>Fire from the 10/21/83 Philly Woostah show is just about (but not quite) the match of the ’82 included in the box set, but it’s outrageously good anyway. The real fun, though, is the Truckin’.

What’s more fun than when they perfectly nail the peak at the end of the Truckin’ jam? When they spectacularly whiff the sucker, only to circle back for another try three or four times, only by now Billy and Mickey are playing in not just different times but in different timestreams, so everyone just gives up and downshifts in Wharf Rat rather sheepishly.

Also, a TotD favorite 80’s tune, My Brother Esau, and one of the six Cumberlands.
