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.

Feel Like A Stranger
Nov. 10, 1985
Meadowlands Arena

As in most of this set, the playing is really hot and really fast. It’s not really a set for subtle communication and expressiveness, but it’s a great one for sweaty, slightly uncoordinated energy. I enjoyed it.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

*Serious* firepower, vocally as well as instrumentally. Check this out, folks.

Paramount Theatre

Very exploratory in parts! I can’t think of many late-’70s versions that are this adventurous.

Civic Center

Even by the standards of ’79, this is a *great* Estimated. Enjoy.
