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

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

Ventura County Fairgrounds

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

Lyrics are flubbed but that final solo has some hot licks.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Uptown Theatre

The Supplication is great! Jerry really shreds it.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre

This version from the Dave's Picks vol. 31 barely registers on the list. As said above it's a nice chill listen with some good groove to it. I can easily see why this version gets lost in the realm of the other great ones from '79 though.

Deer Creek Music Center

This version is near perfect. Both Jerry and Brent have excellent solos and the band is melding quite well.
Terrapin Station
July 18, 1990
Deer Creek Music Theater

A nice version of Terrapin. It's the pre-drums jam that makes this one worth the listen.
