Playin' In The Band

Winterland Arena

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

Might As Well

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

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

Absolute definitive version....Phil is huge on the digital download. Killer opener....epic transition into Iko and cool reprise later. Way more inspired due to its opener status. Bruce kills it to.

Great call...this show is killer. Maybe the best of the run.

You could call this best ever and it sits at three votes. This show amazes me more and more with each listen. I don't listen to the first set as much as the second, but this set cooks from probably the best Straw from 77 to this PL. Don't get me started on the second set. I honestly don't know if there is a better show from 77 than this.
