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.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this was one of the best songs in their repertoire around the time of this version.

What a journey! At first deft and delicate, then thick and swinging ... and of course there's a classic '72 space freakout. Highly recommended.

Wow, where did that come from? A unique jam makes for one of the coolest NFAs of the decade.

Jerry switches to slide after several verses, followed shortly by a smoooth segue to Walkin’ Blues. Cool and different.
