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

Alexandra Palace

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

Palais Des Sports

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.

Amazing soaring and melodic jamming!! Best of '76? It gets my vote!

One of my favorites, very unique jam.

Assembly Hall - Indiana University

Wonderful outro, with a *seamless* transition from the triumphant sounding jam of WR back to the space-jazz jamming of Playin' reprise.

Broome County Arena

Amazing, triumphant jamming. One of the most powerful versions ever played.
