Builds to a nice climax after some interesting lines from Garcia. Whole show is worth a listen.

Ends a great Set II sequence. Listen to the drummers play along with the whistle blower in the audience!

If this had been tracked along with the preceding "Playin,'" everyone would have said "of course." This whole second set is killer.

Playin' In The Band

Exploratory version right out of "Terrapin." Donna sounds great, and Phil leads the jam.

Terrapin Station

Uptown Theater

The transition into the "Terrapin Station" material is particularly strong, with powerful playing from Keith.

Welcome aboard cellarblue. Surprised this wasn't already on here!

Wheeeww! What a hot little version! Garcia spanks this.
Playin' In The Band
June 29, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Atmospheric, lots of Billy that makes this sound jazzy. The whole band is playing together, and I think Garcia being slightly lower in the mix helps convey that. Very nice version. And, sleuth, don't miss 06-22! There's a killer matrix and the show is a thriller.
Not Fade Away

Gaelic Park

Be advised, Phil bombs destroy the tape itself in the ending portion.
The Other One

It gets underway and a long way aways quickly. It sounds like they’re exploring the emptier space left around the absence of Mickey’s parts. Some occasional tape problems. Phil lead jam after the verse, which the entire band jumps on quickly. Fragmenting. Slowly breaks down (and Bobby seems to wander in and out of the mix, which is a shame) and then reconstitute itself into the main riff. If you’re reading this, this will probably be your thing and you should listen.
