The Centrum

Bird Songs started to get longer around this time and that's not a bad thing. Listen to what Bobby plays starting at 7:32

Hard-charging, uptempo version. Emphatic. Interesting ideas from Phil.

Listen to Phil on this. I love how when you least expect it, he reinvents how to play a song.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Surprised this isn't on here yet. Great mid-'80s plaintive vocals by Jerry, victorious solo.

Uptown Theater

This is a great one, with Jerry and Phil inspired throughout, and a jam into Stella no less
Big River

Selland Arena

Jerry takes this Big River by the throat.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Jan. 13, 1978
Arlington Theater

Phil is great on this and I love how Jerry holds back and takes his time on the solos, waiting for something to happen. Burning fire at the end too.

Phil is incredible in the second solo.
Let It Grow

Jerry roars at the laryngitis show.
