This show is extemely epic and should be top 10 shows to have on deserted island. Oh yeah...smokin' promised land out of the gates.

What could of been...one of the most evil teases that I have ever heard. Pure epicness for 30 seconds...and like Keyser Soze..he's gone.

Another beautiful version from 1972. This song always seems like Pig's swan song. One of the best versions.

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.
