Eyes Of The World

Hampton Coliseum

Tribal, thunderous; perhaps because it comes out of Victim and goes into drumz

Knickerbocker Arena

Chugs along at a nice clip. It was included on Dozin' At the Knick, which I believe qualified it as heady.

Alpine Valley

1989 was a very good year for Birdsongs. This one deserves consideration along with 10/8/89 and 12/8/89.

Mexicali Blues

Civic Center

Nicely jammed out with some mariachi MIDI guitar.
Let It Grow
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

I believe this the longest version extant.
Desolation Row
July 19, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

I would tend to agree. Plus it goes into possibly the best Deal of all time. Why they chose to release Downhill From Here only on DVD with no companion live album is something I'll never understand. Would have been a slam dunk.
