Ending rocker, second song of the encore from an all-around great set II.

In the middle of a powerful set II, and the move to Truckin' comes out sweetly from the 7/8 ending jam

Surprised this isn't on here yet. At times sweet, raging, tender, and spacy.

Encore from another great '77 show. Garcia just smiles in the verse, and the end is heavy. Encore of my favorite come-down set ending.

Also wanted to add a comment about the distinctive "Eyes"-type riffing that occurs about 2/3s of the way in.

Agreed. Show as a whole is overrated.

I confess that I am just not a big fan of the PITB-type jams, but this is extraordinary stuff.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Bump for Jerry's birthday. "Samson, Scarlet > Fire" is all time stuff. Whole run from Feb-May (including the Jerry Band stuff) is killer.
