He's Gone
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

He's Gone is definitely not a song I associate with 1977. But for the record, there are 10 versions: 5/21, 5/25, 6/7, 9/3, 9/29, 10/9, 10/21, 10/28, 11/5, 12/27.
Terrapin Station
Nov. 6, 1979
The Spectrum

This one is definitely great. If you like it, though, I recommend you give 12/28/79 a listen (also officially released on a Road Trips, that one on 3.1). To my ears, that one is even better, particularly Jerry's closing guitar work.
Bird Song
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

Really powerful second half on this one! I would strongly recommend a listen. Officially released on the Giants Stadium box set.
Mexicali Blues
April 6, 1982
The Spectrum

Did Bob say "Polka time!"?

The Spectrum

Everyone seems to be contributing nicely to this one. Bob's into the vocals, and Jerry and Brent both make excellent musical statements. Solid version of a tune that is not my favourite, and really great energy for this whole show.
