Torched. Deals at the end were always spot on.

Greek Theatre - University of California

Not as long as 69 versions, but super hot...maybe more focused and better to some.

This is one psychadelic version. Amazing that this show is remastered and crisp. Wild to hear these versions in such good quality.

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.

This is absolutely torched by everyone.
Playin' In The Band

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.
