This is such a high energy show that even the useless blues rocks!

This is the 3rd song of 6 played that usually opens a first set. This is the last Bama for almost 5 years. Smokin version at that!

Have always loved this first set. This is the second of 6 songs that are usually openers. The mid-jam is shredded by Jer and Brent. Awesome version

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

This thing is no joke!

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.

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.
