Flows nicely into everyone's favorite, "I Will Take You Home" -- so popular it's not even listed as an option because it would crash the server

William and Mary College Hall

Coming out of Scarlet Begonias, has a bit more of a '76 vibe than most of 77-78

Not a long version, but erupting with shards of pure sweet Jerry. From the Road Trips 3.1 bonus disc.

The Without A Net version. Listen to it with good headphones and you will truly appreciate how the drummers could use the venue as another instrument.
Bird Song
Dec. 9, 1989
Great Western LA Forum

People are afraid to vote for the versions on the contemporary compilation releases. But I think the people who made them knew what they were doing.

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Jerry was all about the entry licks.
Foolish Heart
July 19, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

This version was used as a bonus track for the "Beyond Description" remaster of "Built To Last."
Desolation Row
July 19, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Anyone know why this version wasn't used on Postcards From the Hanging?
