One of my favorite all-around shows...hilarious Weir banter...this Playin' gets nicely stretched out before a sweet Wharf Rat goin' back into playin'

If you listen to this in the car, Donna will break your windshield. + a Super 20 min jam

Amazingly hot; Jerry and Keith kick things up a notch about halfway thru the jam and it never lets up!

An extensive, long strange trip. Hot in places, then trippy and spaced out. Fast. Phil and Jerry in total unity.

Cool Playing->Uncle John's->Morning Dew->Uncle John's->Playing.

Sometimes shorter is better. At around 10 mins. this beauty from E'72 packs the jazz, jam, passion. Like a more intense version of the one on ACE!

Mellow in places, shredding in others, goes in and out of off-the-rails trippyness but doesn't meltdown. Why isn't this one already here?

'78 bliss! it's lysergically bubbly and cosmic! has a few melts and the drummers are playing intense. Everyone is ON

Absolutely crazy Playing In The Band.

Both more nuanced and multi-textured than your typical PITB jam. Great stuff!!!

From an overlooked show, this version absolutely kills. Insane jamming by all members, a must listen.

Overlooked by the next night's suite, but another effortlessly powerful 72 Playin'
