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

Superior version. Listen and hear why.

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.

Hot damn. Listen to the AUD so you can hear the crowd eating it up. The band peaks multiple times.

I love his tone from this period on (using more/different echo/chorus effects? Little help here?). And sweet accompaniment all riffs at the end, nice spot!

Outstanding version. Won't be surprised when this moves higher up the list.

The guitar playing is unreal, and don't let it overshadow an emotive performance of the ballad portion of the song.
