A very inspired version amongst an O1 sangwich. BTW....the O1 is one of the best of E72.

They really drive this one home as they close this epic 2 show run.

Overlooked show due to epic previous night, but this wheel is just sweet. Btw...this show is no slouch either.

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

This thing is no joke!

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.

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.
