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.

I love the space after the first verse vocals. Like proto-Sonic Youth. Very heady.

Nice long jam following William Tell. Phil is thunderous.

Very enjoyable '90s Playin' -- I was impressed! The whole band really is on throughout the whole thing.
