Can't believe this isn't listed! Really massive verison with not one, but two slipknot teases. Jerry is on fire!!

May be the best of the early versions. Has that '73 bounce, but with something a little extra.

So very tender. Check out Jerry's beautiful solo during the bridge!

OMG!!!! This may just be the the best. Only downside is a brutal cut at the climax of Jerry's solo during the bridge...but this is still a must hear!

I dig this one a lot. I don't think it's the best Playin' despite its length, but there are some awesome segments that will definitely keep me coming back. The jamming right around the 30 min. mark, for example, is especially wicked!

Jerry's tone is very crunchy and distorted at times...he repeats a wild Main Ten-like figure during the jam that gets really intense. Love it!
