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.

Yep, this one definitely should be closer to the top. Excellent version!

One of my favorites. Jerry teases "Auld Lang Syne" during his solo after the ". . .playing the electric violin on Desolation Row" lyric about mid way through the song. It's a really cool solo.

Jerry hits all the right notes, this is a nice version. Needs more love.

This Other One melts my brain like an ice cube.

Lots of funny antics during this one. Worth a listen for the laughs. Lots of teases too. Mexican Hat Dance, Tico Tico, It's A Sin, Teddy Bear's Picnic. . .I am probably missing a few.
