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

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.

Theatre Hall

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.

Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Lots more "Main Ten" jamming than most later versions would have. Gives this one a different, more understated feel than some of the pure delirium versions. That may be good or bad depending on your perspective, but this is certainly a great version.

The Spectrum

Just incredible. Captures the essence of the song perfectly.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 16, 1974
Iowa State Fairgrounds

At one point, the transition jam threatens to go "type II," to borrow the Phish term. Thrilling!

RFK Stadium

Absolutely gorgeous.
Good Lovin'
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

A very exploratory Good Lovin', even by the standards of Europe '72. Like a laid-back Playin' in parts.
