It's called Truckin' - the final song on American Beauty, one of a pair of largely acoustic song based albums they put out in 1970 - the other was Workingman's Dead. Neither is remotely prog, but if you like rootsy American music they're both superb folk/blues/country/rock sets.

The most bizarre thing occurred last night. My sister and I went into Barnes and Noble last night because she needed to get a gift for her friend and I decided to tag along. We go into the music section, and there's this huge gathering of Dead Heads there. What was startling was they were there because Phil Lesh was doing a book signing! I got in line and shook his hand and told him that I enjoyed his music (I just think it's alright- but I wasn't going to pass up a chance like this). Then I bought Drama (Yes) and went home.

My favorite non bootleg live cd of them is  dicks picks #22 from 1968, pretty amazing stuff check it out if you dig their earlier period.

The amount of live recordings of the band scares me off a bit; I really liked 'Live/Dead' and the 'Workingmen's Dead/American Beauty' era. I seem to remember enjoying 'Blues For Allah' as well, but I didn't really like 'Aoxomoxoa' so much, due to that horrible 'What's Become Of The Baby' nonsense on it.
