WT: In answer to your question, they didn't start doing The Wheel until '76, and there are some really fine versions from '76/77. This is one tune I think Donna worked well in.

This is one of the most jammed-out of '76, done inside Playing in the Band:

The long Wheel>Wharf Rat from this show is legendary:

They did it all the time in the '80s, usually coming out of space. Can't think of the best example now, but the intro jam into The Wheel out of space is my favorite part of many an '80s show, it is so ethereal.

Try the space>Wheel from this show:
