'74 was a great year for the short barroom-type numbers.

One of many high-high-energy versions from '74.

From a very hot 1st set. The whole band shines.

Very strong '90s version with fluid, effusive Jerry runs.

Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Lots more "Main Ten" jamming than most later versions would have. Gives this one a different, more understated feel than some of the pure delirium versions. That may be good or bad depending on your perspective, but this is certainly a great version.

The Spectrum

Just incredible. Captures the essence of the song perfectly.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Iowa State Fairgrounds

At one point, the transition jam threatens to go "type II," to borrow the Phish term. Thrilling!

RFK Stadium

Absolutely gorgeous.
Good Lovin'
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

A very exploratory Good Lovin', even by the standards of Europe '72. Like a laid-back Playin' in parts.
