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.

I favor this over 2/23/74 mainly because of Jerry's third solo - HOLY SHIT - a top 10 Jerry solo if there ever was one!

The Electric Theatre

Also, the 1st since 1966!
