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

Might As Well
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

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.

Good vibe, but pretty short version. Its good not great as stated above.
Cryptical Envelopment
June 16, 1985
Greek Theater

What a trip, but this is one song that the difference between a 70's version and 80's version is such a huge gap. Still must have been awesome to see, though. Here it has the 6th best ranking of all time...lol.

Harpur College

Still think 2/13>5/2, but this is a beast!
Jack Straw
Nov. 6, 1979
The Spectrum

Spot on! Great lengthy mid jam that is super hot and then nail the Jack Straw from Wichita.....This version could easily be top 5 for these reasons.

Alfred College
