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.

They Love Each Other
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

The first line of Jerry's solo, with the spaces and big intervals, is brilliant.

Glenns Falls Civic Center

This goes into a very weird place that almost doesn't sound like the Dead, followed by one of the best pre-drums Bobby jams I've heard.

Jerry chases down some very interesting themes starting at around 4:30
