The Playin' from today’s 1972 show is known as one of the best ever and with good reason. It is blistering and never lets up as jam after jam comes at you in rapid-fire succession. It is so fiery, the tune is almost exhausting to listen to. Steel yourself and rock to the Playin' and the rest of the extant music from the night at Grateful Dead of the Day.
Happy birthday to Michael Carabello, the great conga player from Santana who joined the Dead on stage for a few tunes back in 1969. Read more about Carabello and his short time with the Dead and listen to the show over at Grateful Dead of the Day.
