Part of a rare double encore, this version has great energy and bounce. The Brokedown to follow is nice as well. Check out the Oade Brothers AUD.

Seattle Center Coliseum

Really cool pre-drums jam in this version. Almost sounds like they are about to go into I Know You Rider.

It's a fine version and all but the cool little Jerry noodle just before Drums is the real reason to seek this version out.

Really nice groove out of drums. Chill version but in a good way.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Scarlet includes a fiery and energetic segue into FOTM, that gives way to even more fiery'er shredding. Good preview of what was to come in the great year of '87 Dead.

I like the way this version echos throughout the venue creating beautiful soundscapes.
Eyes Of The World

Swing Auditorium

This may be my new favorite version. Love the flow of this one. It has that extra little bounce that '77 versions seem to have.

This version is not the best ever. Not sure if it's the technical difficulties or what but they don't even seem sure how to end the song at this point.

Nassau Coliseum

Worth the listen just for the highlarious fuck up in the beginning.
