Playin' In The Band
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

A good cure for those 'No 'Cid Blues'. This one is a gem.

Fox Theater

Part of the first Playin' sandwich. The transition back into Playin' is like the cops kicking your door in at 4 a.m. it is so sudden and surprising.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

An aural honeypot capping a dynamite show.

Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

A breezy and pleasant intro gives way to a monstrous intra-verse portion that features some 'Uncle John's Band'-themed jamming.

Dark Star
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

Serene, frenetic, diffuse, cluttered--in short, this one goes through more changes than David Bowie's hair. Pheatures a phleshed out 'Philo Stomp'.

Just heard this for the first time and I want to go back for more! Out of curiosity, how is the sound on the official release?
One More Saturday Night
April 21, 1972
Beat Club

Liked this one as soon as I saw it, Phil just crushes it at the end.

Rheinhalle

Never sounds the same twice.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

Love that little jam of 'The Wheel' in this one.
Feel Like A Stranger
Oct. 5, 1984
Charlotte Coliseum

I could easily see this being up there in the double-digits with the voting. The jam goes into fast Playin'-type territory.
