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

St. Louis Arena

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.

Madison Square Garden

Loved it, but wished Jerry could have taken more extended lines and played with Branford more.

Great version, stellar musicians.

One of the most musically interesting things I've ever heard them do. It is wonderful to see what they can do with incredible musicians.

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

No worries, djchall, I wasn't being sarcastic. It's Prankster Dead at its finest, and it's why that transition is all time.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Obviously a contender for a top spot, but I give it my vote because of how Winterland sounds here, and how they sound in it.
