Wharf Rat

Capital Centre

This is an especially long version, and Hornsby's accordian gives it an orchestral feel.

Bird Song
Oct. 17, 1981
Hippodrome

A fairly unique version, because of its placement in the second set and the way that it jams into NTAW.

Hippodrome

An interesting segue from a rare second set Bird Song which is unfinished.

The Wheel
May 21, 1982
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Strong version which leads into a nice jam, and a very well-developed transition to Playin Reprise, reminiscent of 76/77 versions.

Uncle John's Band
July 1, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Extremely passionate, if compact version. JG's leads are especilly determined during the jams.

Benefits from the momentum gathered beforehand.

Giants Stadium

Good placement; several versions I saw would have been better after Drums.
Corrina
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

I have to agree this is one of the best versions, with a very unique country jam at the end.
Uncle John's Band
April 17, 1982
Hartford Civic Center

Picture-perfect rendition, out of a very beautiful Space and an excellent transition.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 31, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

There's a great moment about 11 mins in when they've kind of died down, and then just surge back, all as one.
