This one is a rocker! The Around isn't too bad either.

All Along the Watchtower
June 25, 1992
Soldier Field

Dead base in the day, had this as a top 5 show of 1992...I think.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 6, 1979
The Spectrum

This thing is no joke!
Terrapin Station
Nov. 6, 1979
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.
Passenger

Chrisler Arena

This is absolutely torched by everyone.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 17, 1973
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.
