This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

Bird Song

Cole Field House

Tripped.-out long and interesting rendition. There's no particular direction that this jam plans to go. I like hearing that point where the crowd realizes they've tread new ground with the group.
Mind Left Body Jam
March 24, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Brent driven jam that is in fact great as described.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Yes for sure, this one did slip, through is right. The intro to this Fire is in fact very special. It is just beautiful. What Brent is doing on the keys is, wow, amazing. The band drifts effortlessly into the Fire, as a single being. Fantastic!
The Music Never Stopped

Hershey Park Stadium

The jam rolls and rolls and then almost goes silent before it takes off again. So great!
