One of those note-for-note perfect versions that leave you staggered and smiling. Just beautiful.

Not a song I usually get so swept up by, but on this one Jer's vocals are just perfect, capturing the sweetness and sorrow of the lyrics. A beaut.

High-powered and tight. This show has nothing but complaints about the mix on the archive. Listen to the Ashley transfer, and see what you've missed.

Such sweet harmony, such sweet sentiment - turning on a dime after the white-hot Dew. Shows the beautiful country chops Donna at her best brought.

Jam starts at around 05:45, never fully forms. Am I crazy? This sounds like NFBM and it continues about 3min into TOO. Very very cool stuff here.

Furious acid rock. This is high voltage stuff, and in spite of a little burn-up on re-entry it deserves a close listen and more votes.

Nice catch. This one is a bit stripped down. It's pretty long at over 16 minutes - but it has a superb, purposeful, and clean ensemble feel to all of it. Plus there's an extended transition jam that feels like Jerry has something really important to say, and he takes his good sweet time to say it.

For a song that wasn't in regular circulation at the time, (played only about 5 times in '72), they absolutely nailed this one. It sends chills down my back.

Hard driving 18-wheeler here, folks.

Spinning this show again, and what blows me away about this Playin' is just how much it pre-figures the heavier electric sound that this song would take on in 1974. It starts getting a bit Electric Miles Davisish just before the eight-minute mark, with the wicked wah and distortion, along with some great key work and - of course - that specially tight one drummer quality from Billy from this period. It demonstrates how they just refused to sit still - the great blistering voyages of Summer '72 Playin's were so fresh, but rather than try and reproduce them night after night, they looked at it from another angle (or another thousand angles) and moved it furthur on, finding more and more in it.
