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

Uncle John's Band

Manor Downs

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

Superior version. Listen and hear why.

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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

First off, listen to this in context of the whole "Stranger > Space > S > F." Sick jam. I've never really cared about Vince (I'm young), but he's contributing nicely. Nothing compared to Lesh, who seems to have a bone in his teeth, and plays some interesting lines right as the band moves to "Fire."
Victim Or The Crime

Pine Knob

I've never really cared about this song, to be honest, but this helped me get it. And the space is unreal.
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 11, 1969
Fillmore East

Is the date right on this? I didn't find anything on the archive...
Truckin'
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Absolutely. One of my new favorite shows. Any others you want to pitch? Our tastes align fairly often.
Sugar Magnolia
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

And listen to Keith bring the heat at the end! I had to double back to check this out again.
