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.

Came back around to this one. They're rock and roll wizards.

Hell yes! Smoking great jam (a la 12/12/69 or 4/15/70) that dissolves into a nice space.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Nice little version that ends with a High Times tease.

There's a great Jerry/Bobby space > a long duet leading into Iko. Absolutely worth a listen to hear this interplay.
