Bird Songs started to get longer around this time and that's not a bad thing. Listen to what Bobby plays starting at 7:32

Hard-charging, uptempo version. Emphatic. Interesting ideas from Phil.

Listen to Phil on this. I love how when you least expect it, he reinvents how to play a song.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Surprised this isn't on here yet. Great mid-'80s plaintive vocals by Jerry, victorious solo.

Jerry kills the middle solo and the interplay between him and Weir at the end is fantastic

Nassau Coliseum

Brilliant contortions in the solo.

The Spectrum

The jam after Ship of Fools will make you go wait a minute, and replay it from the beginning.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I love it when Jerry plays angry. Check out the power chords. The Rango aud is incredible sounding.

Jerry sounds great in the first solo but this is all about Bobby's playing in the outro jam. Fuckin sick.
