The fabulous encore to one of the best, most energetic shows of 1977.

A hopping, bouncing joy to my ears. May 77 is just exactly perfect.

Pig seems more melancholy than usual here, a very slow and touching rendition.

Jerry's voice is a bit harsh and it suits these lyrics perfectly.

Such beauty Garcia created here, as the tune is winding down the chords he strikes are just mesmerizingly sweet. Bravo Jerry!

Yep, this was the first Grateful Dead CD I purchased as a teenager. Face melted, hooked for life. This is an amazing jam.

Fantastic! Phil bombs and the peak Jerry and the boys hit on the "I wish I was a headlight..." verse gives me goosebumps every time. Keith nails it too!

Transcending of both space and time. Face melting, soothing, jamming. Hits my ears just right and rocks me away.

Silky smooth jamming like most from 74. Just melts my face. Bombs away Phil.
