This continues the cool groove of the Col Rain. Great version. This show needs to be listened to.

Encore only available via box set. Incredible energy with extended fanning as should be expected from the only time played as an encore.

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.
