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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1983
Civic Auditorium

Jerry sounds a bit fatigued, and Brent and Bobby sounded like they carried the first part, till Jerry starts tearing it up some. After a great peak in "Scarlet," there is a nice jam out (with some aggressive playing from Bobby!), and I thought this was going someplace quite different, till Phil reins it in and they slide backwards into "Fire." That begins the oddest "Fire" I've yet heard, and at a glacial tempo.

Haha the first two times I tried, it blew my mind. I was not ready. Took a breather and I'm gonna try it again tonight. Deeply heady stuff.
