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.

Not as face-melting as December 02, but has great energy and beautiful jamming.

Great all around show. One of my faves.

Bobby and Donna are having so much fun. I'm not one to comment on Donna, but wow, she just sounds great here and adds a lot. (!) Out of sight jam too.

Mershon Auditorium, OSU

I always thought of MLB as the jam that morphed into The Music Never Stopped around the pause in '75, and it's loud and clear here. Nice version, but too short!

Captures the dark cosmic chaos. Emotional, heavy. The forces tear loose from their axis, indeed.
