Worth a mention. It has a good pace, and nice soloing.

Lovely version, the crowd is engaged, and Jerry delivers a perfectly patient sweet solo to end it.

This one is a very in your face rager. Great energy!

Jerry's fingers flying in this version. Love '82 Bird Songs!

I wouldn't really call this version "peppy". Take a look at any version from '77 if you want peppy. I'd call this one "lethargic".

Has all the right dynamics in this version. This is a good one!

This version is cool, a lot different to the version that opened 9/2. This version is a lot looser and stretched out. Seamless segue into Dew at the end.

I'd play this version at a Grateful Dead dance party.

As nice of a Dew as you are going to hear from the late 80's. The single sour note it manages to end on does hurt it from being on the top of '87 Dews. Bummer.
