Billy's high in the mix, and he drives. A perfect snapshot, with Bobby's sweet young voice in perfect form and a solid driven pulse throughout.

High-voltage and up tempo shuffle. Great sounding C. Miller cleanup.

They push the energy up and up and up. Special transition into OMSN. An all-round high voltage jamming show. Underrated.

High energy, shitkickingly good. The energy in this is off the charts.

Pig on a ferocious rampage, the band sizzling hot behind him, and all this in the first set. This show deserves more love.

Really lifts off and sends you out there. Beautiful exploratory jams before the first chorus and leading into MAMU.

cgarces is right about this one. This is as solid rockin' a heady version as any. Sounds to me like it has Pig on organ and Keith on keys, which is a rare treat indeed.
Playin' In The Band

This and the one from the previous night are key transitional Playin's that show the crack in the door to the spacetime bender that it becomes throughout '72. They're both worth more than one spin, and though I think the 25th is a bit more coherent, this one has the openness and freedom that we come to associate with Playin' ever after and is probably my favorite of the two.

This is how this song should have always been played: With Jer on luscious pedal steel and Phil on beautifully harmonic backup vocals.

Gritty and soulful version. Check out Charlie Miller's cleanup for a great sound, with everyone clear and crisp in the mix.
