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.

Crystalline beauty. Love the lilting way Keith plays in '76, too.
He's Gone

Cardinal Stadium

Blistering bluesy jam morphs into Other One-esque maelstrom. From a jamming perspective, among the best ever.
Terrapin Station
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Brent adds some fine contributions, novel solutions to the puzzle that is "Terrapin."
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

Hershey Park Stadium

Damn! Jerry! Brent! Phil! This is good stuff. Very competitive with the (later) era when they were drilling Dylan songs c o n s t a n t l y.
The Music Never Stopped

Hershey Park Stadium

Several sections are twisted into cathartic dance jams. Excellent mid-'80s version.
