Beautiful comedown after an epic Eyes. Forgotten show or not, this is one of the best 2nd sets of the year - and that says a hell of a lot.

Unique Dead with the whole horn section. In places sounds like Nigerian Juju pop from the same era (King Sunny Adé or Fela's big band). Very cool.

Sweaty funky and a little bit loose - just like the lady in the song.

Extremely beautiful version with some AUD problems. Sparkling melodicism out of the perfect collective mind. A forgotten diamond.

Impassioned version like few others, with both Jer and Keith firing on all cylinders. Terrible AUD probs keep this show unknown, but worth a listen.

Bobby's tweaking! This version is as nice as air.

They're on fire right out of the gate. After a beautiful, exploratory Bird Song they close the set with this psychedelic monster. Damn, but it just grows and grows.

I always loved it when my long strange trip kicked in right about the same time they rediscovered Bird Song again. Fuck this sounds so good. Thanks boys.
