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

Hot and tight. Amazing show overall.

Brent on the Hammond will send chills down your spine.

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.

Here Comes Sunshine

Grand Prix Racecourse

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

McNichols Sports Arena

(Whoops, commented on the wrong version. Damn mobile.)
He's Gone
Dec. 28, 1990
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.

Sphinx Theatre

Jerry develops — and repeats — an incredible theme in the last few minutes. It is (forgive me if this is heresy) Anastasio-like.
