Playin' In The Band
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Nice locked in version. 13 minutes of what a Playin' should be.

Might As Well

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This show is often overlooked, but excellent on its own merits. Opens with a bang with a powerful Might As Well.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

I really love this Supplication. It starts pretty chill and then catches fire.

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

This thing is no joke!
Terrapin Station

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.
