Classic early deal! Just such a great show that everything is golden. Everyone should throw this E72 show in if its been awhile.

This show has such great flow and energy and just keeps it going after a tasty Bertha, MaMU.

I can't believe I get to submit this. Excellent start to this epic night. Jer throws in cool riffs as he sings and then just nails the last jam.

Dead base in the day, had this as a top 5 show of 1992...I think.

This thing is no joke!

The Spectrum

I think its not as a hard hitting Terrapin, since its over 15 minutes and does have a jammed out feeling of being in the clouds. Nonetheless, unique and beautiful version.

Chrisler Arena

This is absolutely torched by everyone.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

They did this sequence, I think 4 times. This is by far the best with all of the spot-on transitions. I don't think the Playin' ever gets tiger, but it is musically perfect to the ears. I completely agree with its top 5 ranking.
