Hard-swingin' version with lots of oomph behind it. Sweet show.

A dynamite set opener, worth the ride in spite of some rough aud/soundboard patches.

Phil in good form, high energy and an epic 1st set. A must for '73 fans.

More hard rockin' than others in the tour. Stretches out a bit more too, though rough in places has great energy.

Gorgeous. This one is much tighter and coherent than the only other version of the era played just three days earlier. This is a sublime interpretation.

Can't really call this a TOO, as they never quite make it into the melody or lyrics. They do jam the ever-living fuck out of it though, which is awesome.

Cucamonga007: Just saw that you recommended this to me, and man oh man, thanks brother. It blazes and soars, no matter what DonnieMT has to say and kvetch about it. The musical confidence they bring to Bird Song at this stage in its development is unworldly. Consider that they're going to drop it from rotation a year later. What did they finish with it? This is a "clean" version, like the one on 26.09.72 that you've really got to check out if you want to discover an unknown gem that shouldn't be, rather than a Dark Starish sprawler. In any case, thanks again, man.

Jerry's solo is like a high-voltage cable cut loose and flailing wildly, arcing and dancing on the edge of crazy.
