Playin' In The Band

Winterland Arena

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

Friend of the Devil

Winterland Arena

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.

Jeez guys, how did five people vote for a song that wasn't even performed at this show?

Not everybody's favorite song, but not the filler it's often dismissed as either. The band plays it hot and fast, and Jerry lovingly dances over it with a thousand-and-one ideas streaming of his guitar with flourish and virtuosity.

Thanks for the tip Grendel. Mr. Charlie earns yet another star for fixing one of the biggest buzzkills of '73. Enough has been said about this show, but daaaaaaaaaaamn if it didn't just get better.
