Bird Song
March 7, 1981
Cole Field House

Stupendous Bird Song right here!!! This version has it all, from soaring melodies to jazz to deep space. A definitive version, no doubt, and possibly my favorite post-hiatus.

Wow!!! Epic slow burner with an absolutely scorching transition into Eyes. Thanks for putting this one up!
Eyes Of The World

Great American Music Hall

This version is just phenomenal, almost as good as any version from 1974. The playing is in a very similar context to the pre-hiatus versions, but with a funkier, more aggressive feel. Jerry has some wonderfully melodic soloing during the verses, and Phil totally owns the jam out of the song.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Scratch that, this is THE BEST version of the '80s IMO. Absolutely insane energy that just floors me every time!!!
