A solid and sweet rockin' version. The band is smooth and tight, recording a solid A-

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
Sept. 16, 1972
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.
