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

Jahrhunderthalle

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

Saint of Circumstance

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

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

Deservedly at the top spot, this one is a psychedelic swinging masterpiece
The Other One

Get yer goddamn yah yahs out - this one is a raging ball of fury! soooo sick
Black Throated Wind

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

That comment was absolutely perfect/hilarious and I could not agree more. This and Barton - fine shows, no question, but not every song is the best ever. "Jerry cleared his throat as set two started and it was the best throat clearing the band has ever done."
Dark Hollow

Fillmore East

Oh man, this is flawless! Grisman with some amazing fills on mandolin. Such a bute!
