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.

Ramble On Rose

Paramount Theatre

Intense, heartfelt, and beautifully sung by all. One of the better late ’70s versions I’ve heard.
Eyes Of The World

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Phil’s bombs, Bobby’s harmonics, Brent’s intricately darting runs, Jerry letting himself be drawn Out, finally Rhythm Devils-enhanced Space ... it’s all here. Wow.

Copps Coliseum

Fresh and intriguing outro jam here! Don’t just listen to the S>F.

I am not surprised to see this version at the top. I was really charmed by Brent's soloing in this, but the whole performance is very well done.
Playin' In The Band

Boston Music Hall

Holy. Smokes. Wickedly psychedelic without ever losing precision, clarity, or focus. One of Keith’s most creative performances ever, maybe? Jerry is conversational and in total command. The ensemble playing is stunning. Don’t hesitate. Just listen.
