Part of a great first set, the band is on fire, and Pigpen in great form. Tight rocker.

Cracklin' and snappy version. The band is über tight and having fun.

Bobby blows a gasket on this one. Raw and powerful, showing exactly where they were headed before Europe. High energy rocker.

I'd argue this was the first Playin' as we came to know it after the end of the "Main Ten" and "country warbler" versions from '71.

After a pretty sloppy 1st set, they charge up and nail this one. Phil goes bananas on the out chorus.

A great DS in the middle of a a stellar 2nd set. So kind to your mind! One of my favourite's shows from 1972, often overlooked coming after the well-known (and brilliant) August shows.

This is my go-to Playin' when I need weirdness.
