China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 26, 1980
The Sportatorium

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

Greek Theatre - University of California

Hot and tight. Amazing show overall.

Brent on the Hammond will send chills down your spine.

The Other One

Academy of Music

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

Theatre Hall

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.

Tennessee Jed

Palace Theatre

I’m on an upvoting spree this first set, which is to say — it’s all so good. Don’t skip any of the short songs on the way to the big jams.
Terrapin Station
Aug. 4, 1982
Kiel Auditorium

This is an exceptionally well-played Terrapin even before they get to the jam. With the jam, this is a reasonable contender for the Top 25. Brent shows off his jazz chops throughout.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre

Commenting purely on the audio: Anyone checking out this show should hear the Dusborne matrix, which is much livelier and more detailed than the muddy-sounding Dave’s Picks release.
To Lay Me Down
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Altogether almost faultless, this one climaxes nicely with Jerry’s solo.
Black Throated Wind
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Fabulous performance all around!
