Playin' In The Band
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

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.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Ok. I will agree this is epic. The china cat is sick.
Black Throated Wind

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Pretty standard for 1972. Not sure the hype.

Promised Land

Short but sweet
Morning Dew
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

I prefer the May/June 1977 versions, but this has one of the best first solos and then later crescendos that were more than usual for 1974. This easily should be ranked higher. I can't believe how good this version is.
