Garcia was a poet. The bands these days seem empty, no soul to them. Who among them could produce "Truckin'"? Those were songs and tunes that mirrored the times and the culture. Music was alive. It meant something; stood for something. Great posts in this quest for loud rock speakers.

"Truckin'" is a song by the Grateful Dead, which first appeared on their 1970 album American Beauty. It was recognized by the United States Library of Congress in 1997 as a national treasure.Wikipedia
Indeed.
