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.

The Same Thing

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

I love the way they melt into it from PITB.
Around and Around
Dec. 27, 1991
Oakland Coliseum Arena

I never really pay attention to this song but this one caught my ear. Bob's on point and I really like Jerry's tone and solo.
Little Red Rooster

Oakland Coliseum Arena

This is a great version. Bob's vocals are on point, great audience participation during the hounds begin to howl part, Jerry shreds. You can hear how palpable the energy is.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

This one bubbles nicely before a strong psychedelic peak that simmers down into a sultry and jazzy refrain then boils back up to another peak then finds its way to a phenomenal reprise.
The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

This version starts off tentative and Bob forgets most of the lyrics. You're thinking "Yeesh, this version is going to be a mess." Then the midsection jam starts. Great recovery but this version still lacks the steller Jerry peaks that the top notch versions have.
