Beautiful version from a totally unheralded show. Jerry's impassioned vocals in the verses blew me away.

Spacey, LONG, jam. There's a video, and you can see Bob smiling as Jerry somehow nails the last climax of the jam and they slam into the chorus.

Hot version - Jerry's guitar tone is thicker than it was in 94, he's totally present and playing some of those added riffs like in 10/12/83.

Lots of very under the radar shows in 82. This version is perfectly executed from start to finish - great end jam with huge finish.

Pretty hot version. Nice mid solo and shreddy outro that heads into a spacey jam. Great vince contributions and Jerry firing on all cylinders

Vince definitely added a lot in second sets by late 93. Great, ambient, jazzy tones here.
Bird Song

Cal Expo

Nice strumming jam to cap this version off. I'd be willing to bet every bird song from 1989 is great.

Highly underrated. Intense shredding here folks

Civic Center

Great version, and very pretty solos, but not transcendent, and definitely shouldn't be ranked so high. There are several hotter versions from 1990 alone - 9/18 (outro!) and 12/28 (mid solo!) come to mind.

Jerry reaches in the outro. Great vocals.
