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.

The first time I heard this it scared the hell out of me. Intense playing!

Circled back around to this one apparently! Very good version with a great transition. Nice matrix of this cures what ails ya.

Uptown Theater

Still surprised to see that this has gotten no love! First ever 1/2 Step > Franklins and it's a fire version! Great matrix of this, give it an ear.

This version needs some serious love. Face melting Primal Dead right here!
