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

Manor Downs

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

St. Louis Arena

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

St. Louis Arena

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.

the mystical oneness of all great jams, deep down

This one takes the plunge. Serious exploration.
Big River

Winterland Arena

I rarely pass over these late '73 Big Rivers on the way to the Big Jams, and this is a great example why. Everything cooks, and Bobby especially is adding a lot. Plus the BR-flavored jam late in the Dark Star ties the set together beautifully.

Whoo! Great version.
China Cat Sunflower
