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

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

Absolute scorcher. Nimble licks abound

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Like others, not a massive TJ fan, but was in Nashville and a spin felt obligatory. This one is a crusher - band is tight and Jer puts the hammer DOWN on the leads. Very enjoyable version and yeah, they def brought it in Nash during an already iconic month in dead history
New Minglewood Blues

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Powerhouse energetic and Bobby legitimately snarling and growling in full force. Killllllller
Playin' In The Band

Boston Garden

Thick cosmic soup. At times demonic in nature, then a flawless transition into Terrapin

Boston Garden

The embarrassingly entendred name “clam jam,” is very well done. I’ve always loved this show
