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.

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

So sorry to hear it NJ!

It's super weird that Jerry is playing the riff in the wrong key here. It gives to tune an otherworldly feel that's kind of cool, but weird.

This tune is so perfect for Keith. He sounds great, as does Bobby. Love that he's so high in the mix in this SB.

Love Jerry playing Woody Woodpecker at about 5 minutes in. They get down to business in the jam. Love Bobby's playing throughout.
