Bird Song

Incredible version. A preview of what was to come in '72-73. And yes, the interplay between Garcia and Weir is great.

Nassau Coliseum

bennybenhead check out the night before, 9/7/73. It's even better IMO

This Terrapin>Dew is the real deal. The Dew outro just explodes. As good as any version out there...

Greek Theatre - University of California

^ every so often. If I'm listening to one of my favorite Playin's like 9/17/72 or 8/4/74, I'll sometimes go ahead and skip to the jam, but I usually just let it play out.
Terrapin Station

Like Ernie5, I too am surprised this isn’t higher up the list.
