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.

Haha bloody Jerry's noodling in with the MIDI in the background between songs. Super high energy, sick. This whole show is so nasty!

The whole band is cooking tonight, and Jerry is on.

I honestly haven't heard this yet, but I think this is one of the most fascinating aspects of Deadhead-dom. I'm really intrigued by the idea of being "in" a song or jam, or "out" of it (transition), where the borders are between them, and how we interpret music that doesn't fit into these categories. Interesting stuff!

This "Space > Wheel" is the business.
