Grateful Dead archivist and legacy manager David Lemieux notes in the video’s description,
By the end of the Europe ’72 tour, Playing In The Band had stretched out to close to 20 minutes, where it would remain (and much longer many nights) for the next two+ years, through the end of 1974. This is the version that appeared in the Grateful Dead Movie and was included in its uncut entirety on the CD soundtrack to the Movie, released on 2004.
