Bob really over enunciates all the lyrics which makes this version somewhat unique.

This splendid version of Bird Song includes plenty of bird sounds and a spirited jam segment that crescendos magnificently into an uplifting climax.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 1, 1987
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
Feb. 26, 1977
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.
Terrapin Station

Swing Auditorium

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.
Brokedown Palace
May 9, 1981
Nassau Coliseum

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