Madison Square Garden
Very energetic version from a period when that wasn't a given.

A surprisingly powerful version, JG very passionate and on-top of it. Especially given it had to follow a LWTGH which fizzled into nothing.

Nassau Coliseum
Very powerful Bobby on this one: his acoustic pairs nicely with strong vocals. And great support from the band & Hornsby as well.

So Many Roads

The Spectrum
Best part of a lackluster show (and yes, I am counting the Unbroken breakbout).
Playin' In The Band
April 8, 1971
Boston Music Hall
Good reference point to assess later exploratory versions.
Playin' In The Band
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena
Interesting in that some of the best moments are in the jam following Samson. It's not simply a "space> reprise" sort of thing, but a well-developed exploration.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California
Garcia is flowing brilliantly in the first serving of Playin: transition to UJB is flawless, puts later Playin> UJBs to shame.
The Other One
Sept. 3, 1985
Starlight Theater
I think it's the strongest of the '85 TIFTOOs. (But that might not be saying all that much...)
