The song is solid overall but I really dig the second half of it.

A rollickin' 80's version of the tune. There is a nice video of the performance on YouTube.

Even with mic issues making the first few lines inaudible, this is a pretty funky rendition

The Setlist website says that it is. For the first time out they did a swell job.
Eyes Of The World

Sports Arena

I just stumbled upon this version and I agree that it's a nice jazzy take. When Branford was able to come in add his saxophone it always added a nice twist to the song.
Big Railroad Blues

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

I don't listen to BRB too often but this is a nice version of the tune.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Dane County Coliseum

As I presume many people know, this tune is on the album Postcards of the Hanging: Grateful Dead Perform the Songs of Bob Dylan. They picked a good version of the song for the album.
