Blissful, otherworldly, mellow (but intense) transition...why wasn't this on the Dick's Picks?!?!

constantly shifting gears from firey to spacy, hardly lets up for full 23 mins. A surprising gem from Euro '74!

A unique, interesting version due to the "china white". Has an almost country flavor with what sounds like a lot of slide guitar. A cool jam for sure.

Typically strong stuff for fall '73. A good show all around.

A very strong version...very nice jams. Jerry breaks a string towards the end allowing Keith to step up a bit :)
