Grateful Dead, Franklins Tower, Radio City, 31 10 1980. This song is from the Blues for Allah album, which was informed by the Miles Davis of ESP.
On this album the band further developed the jazz-oriented framework that it had been exploring, however tentatively, on Wake of the Flood. It did so by appropriating Miles Davis’ fusion experiments over several years. In 1975 the band was at one of its high points, and the music on the record brings together long-form compositions, complicated harmonies, carefully chosen rhythms and some of the Dead's best melodies.
