Brent lends the transition jam a relaxed fusion vibe. Dreamlike, but doesn't lose precision.

Dick's Picks 30. Band is about to leave for Europe and gives a preview of the tour's signature jam style. Astonishing.

A thing of beauty like all the big jams from this tour, this one's every bit as moody and introspective as freaky and paranoid.

McNichols Arena

This is really good. The tempo doesn’t drag, the harmonies are sweet, and the outro is explosive, albeit short. Check out the whole sequence from Estimated on.

Good god!!! This is incredible.
Weather Report Suite

Portland Memorial Coliseum

Felt compelled to note — the Prelude > Part 1 is exceptional. (Nothing against the Let It Grow, of course!)

The Spectrum

Virtually note perfect … and yes, Jerry’s in great voice, as he is throughout this underrated tour.

Palace Theatre

Avant-garde even by the standards of 1972. What a beautiful mindfuck. I just love it.
