Playin' In The Band
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

I lost all my doubts about post-hiatus PITB after listening to 2/3/78 and 5/17/77.
China Doll

Fox Theatre

Perfectly placed in the second set jam. One of the best Playin' sandwiches of all time. First they take you through a space ride with the palyin' jam, inmediately they change the mood with a UJB. After that they go into drums (Billy or Micky hint at samson only to realize seconds later they've already played it) and decide to go into the wheel, imposible not to song along. Once again we get another mood change as the boys veer into China Doll, and this one is one for the ages. Finaly, they end it up with a nice playin' reprise.

Hollywood Bowl

There's a moment where they seem to be heading toward a mind left body jam but they decide not to, and instead go for something more creative and unique, and the jam that follows is excellent. After that Bobby teases spanish jam, but instead they transition seamlessly into wharf rat.
The Other One

Jahrhunderthalle

Feelin' groovy teases by Phil and spanish jam teases by Bobby, but none actually consolidates.
