Playin' In The Band

Expansive and spacious with brilliant flashes. Has a few bad AUD patches in need of a fix but well worth the ride.

Short and sweet. Not lickety-split quick pickin' à la 1970-71 and certainly not a slow-as-cold-molasses 80's style either, but nice and right. A gem.

Unique version. Great vocals with Jerry singing backup. Classic '72 sound.

Back from when this wasn't just a toss-off after Drums/Space. High voltage Pig.

Not mellow. Not spaced-out sweetness, but a burning hot re-entry after a rocketship TOO.

Whole show is underrated.

Absolutely sick version, with a simmering Pig rap that's got some sizzling backing work by the ghee-tars. The sneak-it-in China Cat sandwich is a cool surprise (how many times did that ever happen?), and the reprise is full throttle. Fun stuff.

Unique jam, and an atypical rap for the time.

Tragic cut about five minutes in, followed by an unlisted Big Railroad Blues. It's a pity too, because the jam is a real heater, and we have to be happy with what we got.

La Bamba jam. It's definitely there. The cool groove starting at 19:30 is a la la la la Bamba and lasts about a minute and a half. Cool stuff!
