Playin' In The Band

Music Hall

This is a stunner. Listened to the AUD many years ago, heard how good it was, but the recording is poor, so I forgot about it. Your post Carrion_Crow prompted me to look again. This time I took the Charlie Miller, and WOW. Great. Billy is a little high in the mix, but that is the only minor complaint. Superb version in a great second set.

Avalon Ballroom

Agreed. Definitely one of the top three.

Winterland Arena

Interesting in the development of the song, and heart felt vocals, but for all that probably the weakest bit of the whole concert. With the Pig nailing Next Time You See Me and It Hurts Me Too, and the boys doing Cream Puff and Golden Road, this MD is still in the making, and not there yet.

Falling, falling, (yowahh, I really am falling), falling, falling. What a beautiful mini-rush ! And then the solo a bit later is out of this world.
