One of the longest and best. Other One teases and lots of spacey interplay.

3 excellent Garcia solos, instead of the usuall 2. A perfect way to close out this legendary 2nd set!

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Haha, my last comment was intended for 2/24/73. This is, however, a really awesome PITB, with some stupendously creative jazz jams from Jerry...very unique stuff here!
Playin' In The Band

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

This maybe the best, smoothest version of the whole "sandwich", but 3/23/74 definitely has a hotter Playin'.

Cow Palace

Just have to add that of the 3 times they did this sandwich, I think this is my favorite. Such a probing, intense Playin', and the transition from UJB back to Playin' reprise is just magical. A-Mazing stuff!!!
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Top shelf stuff. My favorite Eyes of '77 for sure.
Truckin'

Field House - Seneca College

Love this version!!!! Maybe not as epic as 11/6/77, but rip-roaring energy to spare!! One of my favorites ever.
