Silva Hall at the Hult Center

A low key Drums leads to a Space that I've heard others (accurately) describe as "dark" and "weird"

A nice version but I love the jam that bridges PITB with this

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Not a raucous version like 12/26 but still quite groovy, w/ heavy Phil bass

Hippodrome

This isn't a monster like 5/8/77 but it's a sweet mellower version w/ a hot ending.

Mexicali Blues

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

This can also be described as a bouncy version. There's some quality guitar and organ action.

The Setlist website says that it is. For the first time out they did a swell job.
Eyes Of The World

Sports Arena

I just stumbled upon this version and I agree that it's a nice jazzy take. When Branford was able to come in add his saxophone it always added a nice twist to the song.
Big Railroad Blues

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

I don't listen to BRB too often but this is a nice version of the tune.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Dec. 3, 1981
Dane County Coliseum

As I presume many people know, this tune is on the album Postcards of the Hanging: Grateful Dead Perform the Songs of Bob Dylan. They picked a good version of the song for the album.
