I know this song was played every night durin E72, but this one is certainly worthy. Love Bob's work on this one.

I have mixed feeling of this song. Its terrible when the boys are not on overall, but pleasant at an epic show. This one is perfect.

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

This thing is no joke!

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.

This is absolutely torched by everyone.

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.
