Playin' In The Band
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

This Playin’ is so unlike most. The exploration tells of the fusion Jerry and Phil must have been listening to at that time. And what can be said that hasn’t already been said about Billy’s playing? Incredible version of a song that has so many incredible versions.

The Tobin matrix really makes this one pop. Jerry is on fire throughout.

Bobby is so animated with is vocals on this one. A great song in a great show.

At just shy of 20 minutes, with excellent gospel-style vocals, you can tell Jerry and Phil don't want this one to end. The drums that follow are less than four minutes, which lead into a 10 minute NFA, just proving the point these guys came to play!
