Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

Convincing vocal performance by Jer. Especially second verse.

Rowdy, spirited version. Jerry not quite done with it when everyone else is.

Bird Song

The Centrum

Damn, here I am commenting on this again?? This a sick, psychedelic Bird Song with Bobby leading the charge. Breaks down into pure space in multiple places. No wonder they didn't play Dark Star back then, they didn't need to.

Fantastic jam into The Other One. Phil is brilliant.
Ramble On Rose

Keith sounds amazing on this. Love the little lick he plays after "Just like Jack and Jill." One of the best versions I've heard

Scary jam demands that you pay attention. You can't run away from it.

So cool that they go into a loose jam out of this tune. Bobby is def playing Wang Dang Doodle.
