Dark, spacey, very psychedelic. Really fits the '83 sound.

The Music Never Stopped
May 26, 1977
Baltimore Civic Center

Now, this is a rollicking GOOD time. Amazing how Jerry’s playing can evince so much intensity while also being lighter than air.
Samson and Delilah
Sept. 24, 1976
William and Mary College Hall

Strutting, slinking, swaying *funky* version powered by Keith’s deliberately, boldly repetitive comping. Wow!
One More Saturday Night
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Approximately 100% more spirited than your average version. Phil is amped up in more ways than one.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

A tepid beginning opens up into some novel exchanges and a lot of exploration. Not the “best” anything, but it’s a worthy chapter in the ongoing saga of Playin’. I like it.
Big Railroad Blues
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

The playful, twangy intro is a delightful surprise.
