Super extended, gentle, blissful intro, with a Playin Reprise tease at the end.

Just watched this version on YouTube and had to come here to give it an up vote. Absolutely smashing start to a sweet summer show. Bobby lets the jam section open up and go a few extra measures which lets Jerry really explore the fretboard.

Very passionate performance from both Bobby and Jerry.
Eyes Of The World
March 19, 1990
Civic Center

This is the version that appears on the Spring 1990 "So Glad You Made It" box set. It is so good and I can just listen to it over and over again. The outro jam is heavenly and very melodic.
Row Jimmy
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Look, I'm not a Cornell hater who thinks everything about it is overrated. A lot of this show does carry best of versions or very close to it. However, I must say that this Row Jimmy is not one of them. It's all right, but nowhere near the best.
Bird Song
Dec. 28, 1983
Civic Auditorium

Agreed! This version of Bird Song really shows off the potential of 1983.
