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.

Giants Stadium

A true team effort that shows off the jamming chemistry of 1989.

This is one of the best versions I’ve heard. 1980 is such an amazing — and too often overlooked — year.

Chilled-out ambient space into Drums. Very cool and different.

Hadn't heard this in a long time, then listened yesterday for the 50th anniversary and wooooooow. Jerry — is — on — fire. No wonder this one is ranked so high!
