Jer nails it. Sep. '91 had some great Lee's

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 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.
Playin' In The Band

They pack a lot into a jam that is a little less than 10 minutes. Love this dreamy version.

I love the build up in this version.
Foolish Heart
March 28, 1991
Nassau Coliseum

Vince overpowers Jerry's vocals on the SBD, but this version has a nice flow otherwise. Jerry and Vince play well together here.
Victim Or The Crime

Nassau Coliseum

Interesting "Space" like jam before the segue into Foolish Heart.
