Winterland Arena

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

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

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

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

Freedom says it all. Its amazing the level they played with all night including the 47 minute DS to Mister Charlie. I do think they were a little tired during UJB, tho.

I need to listen to this show at least once a month. Good place to start is this compact Playin' opener. Just sets the tone for the whole epic night. The thing gets tiger before you can get your first sip of scotch in. Its tight...its hot and then finishes with a forceful playin' theme!

Thanks for pointing out. Tremendous version. Definitely can hang with 8/27.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 25, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre

Beast version from a summer tour with great S/F's...Deer Creek and Pine Knob. This 2 show run has some unbelievable setlists, but some great playing too.
