I think '71-'72 was probably the peak for this song...

Typically great '72 version, falling between a great "Tomorrow Is Forever" and an epic DS

Another excellent '72 version. Seems like this show is one of the most under-the-radar great '72 shows...

Playin' In The Band

Criminally underrated! That should change now with the box set. I think this is kind of a "Goldilocks" version -- tight, well-sung verses; some spaciness; some dreaminess; some Tiger. A+ in my books...

Transition finds a really unique space...like they stumbled upon a peaceful little meadow along the way and wandered in for a minute :)

Phenomenal...you know they're feeling it when they dive into this second!

This one is groovy as hell! Has me bouncing around in my seat every which way (and it's not just the couple cups of coffee I've had)!
