Bob does a nice little tribute to Pigpen in this one.

Very powerful, percussive version. Sounds like they are about to go into a "Caution" jam at the end but it doesn't get there.

Alpine Valley

Amazed that anything from these shows hasn't been submitted yet. Top shelf version like everything else from AV '89.

Jerry botches the lyrics but it's the last Boston Garden version, so that's significant. Nice solo, too.

"Days" is fine if placed well, but imagine if Bobby saved "The Other One" for this night instead of 12th and Jerry followed it with either "Wharf Rat" or "Dew." Alas, not to be.

I feel like Bob did this purely out of spite towards Jerry as the pre-Drums had been all him except for PITB. Even if I don't care much for the "Scarlet -> Fire," that 5 pack is still pretty fucking massive and it was obvious the crowd was digging it...then Bobby shoots that momentum to hell.

Awesome performance.
Bird Song
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

This one is played kind of fast and clunky. The best "Bird Song"'s are slow and stately, this one doesn't quite get there. Some good moments, though.

One of the best. Magisterial.
