Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

This may be the best vocals I've ever heard from Phil in any song! Not hating on him, but love his part here in this tremendous outro jam

Wow wow wow wow. This one and the Playin on this date in 74 are my two favorite versions. As spacey and jazzy as they come, yet full of power and direction all the way through. So much jamming on this one, it feels a helluva lot longer than 19 minutes! What a way to close the first set on this all-time show.

Another June '76 version with that "perfect" sound to it. Love this one and the whole show
