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.

Though there are many GSETs with St. Steven quotes, this is the only one I know with a full-bore jam of the theme. Kick-ass version!

Agree for sure...Keith has some seriously hot licks here and is really throwing his weight around!!

Another amazing version in a run of outstanding Playin's. Jer and Phil are dominating!
