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 real surprise and treat after the finger blistering Dancin'. Right now becomes my favorite ever.

In as close to a flawless show as this one, the Dancin' really stands out for its incredibly shredding good time vibe.

Woke up with Jack Straw in my mind, came here for this and BANG! Absolutely ripping version. Great stuff.

Faster than others from the era, but never rushed: Finds a really nice pocket and grooves there. High octane indeed.

Has it all. Nice to get into this whole show, not just the immortal PITB.
