Bird Song
Aug. 22, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre
CuddlyBear: Damn close, if not the best week ever. There are a couple of weeks like this that I can think of: Late Feb. '73, last week Nov - first Dec. '73 again, first week of Dec. '71, May '70 (ooooh mercy), June '74 and of course we can all argue about certain parts of '77. I'm not so up on my 80s Dead, but I bet somebody can point out these wonderous peaks of perfection. I won't try to rank them, but every once in a while they just nailed everything perfectly song after song, show after show. This Birdsong here is why I listen to the Dead, over and over and over again.
