Wonderful version, everyone in the band is in sync on this one. Love the harmonizing vocals in particular

If Miami Dead had a sound, this would be it. Laid back, in the pocket, love what Billy is doing here along with the rest of the band. Very unique and awesome first set (and show!)

This may have converted me to finally appreciating the long jammed out Playins. Have always gotten bored or zoned out during other ones but this is as jazzy as the Dead ever played (that I've heard) and its simply gorgeous. Best. One. Ever. (to my ears)

oooh I do like this one better than Veneta, but check out 3/24/73 for my personal favorite. But man this version sends chills down my spine
