Some of the sweetest group vocal harmonies ever. How is this show not more highly rated?

Way up-tempo and crisp and groovy. This was Keith's first run of shows and their's popping creative energy throughout.

Bobby's voice sounds beautiful, one of his clearest, nicest vocal performances of this one.

Right about here a damn good show becomes an outrageously amazing show.

Exploratory and energetic, coming in the heart of an hour-long jam. Great musicality and clear communication between the boys here.

Tight is right. This one almost sounds through-composed, but doesn't lose the soaring spontaneity either. Beautiful version.

One of the better ones, this. Seriously underrated. There's good SBD, so avoid the rough AUD.

A long strange trip. This one took the lucky audience far furthur out and back again. Love the description above of this as a "buffet".

Playin' In The Band

Boston Music Hall

Delicate and sparkling. Has the melodic theme bubbling up to the surface here and there, which is really different from the other Playin's in Summer/Fall '72. For the AUD-hesitant: The show up to this point is pretty rough, but there's a good SB version on the archive of Playin' through NFA.
