Garcia/Hunter epic, world premiere 2/26/77 in San Bernardino (along with Estimated Prophet — that's one show). The studio version has the full orchestrated suite; live versions cut to the first movement but extended the instrumental coda. Often an encore in the late '70s, a second-set opener later. The Curator's all-time favorite show (5/28/77) was released as 'To Terrapin: Hartford '77' — named for this song.
