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.

No kidding about the start!

Some blazin’ funky jamming here that sounds like something Pig would have rapped over a couple years earlier.

Coliseum Arena

Easy upvote for the mesmerizing post-song jam, which at times sounds plucked from an extended Truckin’ > Other One transition circa ’72.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Madison Square Garden

This really impressed me. I haven’t done a direct comparison with any others, but I can’t remember liking a post-Brent version more than this.
