Playin' In The Band
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Hornsby on accordion makes this sound like it could be echoing out of a pub somewhere in Ireland. Jerry's solo is stunning. In some instances, like this, the accordion works. In others, like the subsequent Mexicali Blues, it is painful to endure. This one is lovely.

Goodie fucking gum drops, this one is GREAT!

Sure, Keith and Jerry shine brightly on their solos, but Bobby floored me with some very nuanced, delicate fanning throughout. Choooooice.

Super slinky and slowed down version. Keith especially shines on this track, and throughout the entire show. Highly enjoyable
