Because every song in this show deserves to be here. This is a solid rocking version, just excellent.

One of the perfect ones, and one of the last songs from this epic show to be posted here: A near perfect show from '72, one of the best.

Jer: "This is a new song... and it goes exactly like this". Pigpen: "No it don't." Either way, it kicks like the good stuff.

Shocked it isn't here yet. Did you stop at Donna's beastly howl? If you did, you missed Jerry rip spacetime. Listen up and dig this Playin', really.

"Thank's Texans" Phil sez to the NY crowd. This one is a rollicking good time. Jer is all over it behind a great Cowboy Bob showcase.

Yeah the Dark Star's cool... but did you hear the Cumberland?!? It's like they each had 100 fingers.

Nice and tweaky. But how about his manic-mouse pizzicato background around minute 3:00. Throughout this show it seems like they're having a blast.

Goddamned right hvd Sleuth. I love it when some of the so-called "filler" songs crackle and pop and remind you why the Dead were the finest band in the land. This one comes off a "dynamite" (Phil's word) Bird Song, and you could tell they were having a blast rippin' through it.

They fix some tuning problems mid-way through and then just turn on the heat. What a way to open a show!
Bird Song
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Brilliant soundscapes throughout, with Bobby nice and audible in the mix (soundboard, not the DP). Jerry makes bird sounds and swoops and soars over and above the rolling wind and cloud ocean coming from Phil and Billy. Great great stuff from one of the top eras of this beautiful song.
