I'll be damned. Not here yet. Fantastic jam with Jerry following Bobby's jabs and turns. Also notable because Bobby doesn't trip over the words in Sup

Sometimes you know a tune will be heady on the first note. The crowd seems to know it too. Killer solo.

Ass-kicking version, beautifully sung. Notable in that every note of Bobby's slide playing is exactly in tune.

Always looking for the great middle jams in this tune. This one is long, meandering, dreamy

Bird Song
Oct. 8, 1984
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.

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.
