New Minglewood Blues
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

I think Weir's #1 occupation -- and without a doubt Jerry's on this song -- is rock and roll
Big River
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

Pure balls out rock and roll and should be ranked much higher
New Minglewood Blues
March 9, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Outstanding and unusual version. What's different about it? Well, I never heard Brent play like that before! And Bobby's slide practice is mostly excellent.
Bird Song

Madison Square Garden

By the way I just want to say that I love reading Beggars Tomb's little Dead haikus. Keep 'em coming, bro.

I haven't systematically listened to Bird Song versions but I am a big and discriminating fan of the song and this is a topnotch performance.
