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

Deeply hypnotic licks around min 6.

Very beautiful version. The jam is note for note perfect.

Oh man, this quickly vaulted to one of my favorite versions. Completely locked in playing, Billy driving the band, everyone is razor sharp. First MLB jam kills. Easily one of the more inventive and innovative versions. Deserves massive upvotes

Man this one is the goods! Great mellow, ethereal jam for the first 10 or so minutes, then a nice Lesh solo, into a popping Feeling Groovy jam.
