Bird Song

Fox Theatre

I don't know what OP meant by early 'electric' version, but the REAL early bird songs, 72 and 73 were electric, they didn't do em acoustic until 80.

It was during this UJB that I witnessed the only mosh pit I ever saw at a show, towards the front phil side, this large group was dancing so furiously during the end jam that a bunch knocked each other over. This is an excellent UJB, best end jam I ever saw em do live...

Op says "Long, but it soars", wtf, since when when was 'long' a complaint with GD songs? lol
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 5, 1979
The Spectrum

This is the infamous version where a female audience member in the front row, goes into labor, gives birth during the whole transition into IKYR, and the baby, covered in the blood and fluids of birth, is brought up onstage towards the end of IKYR and upon the ending, is handed to Jerry himself, and is kissed on the forehead ! What a moment! Many rumors have circulated about the child, but I can attest that after the show, Jerry did in fact personally breast feed the child!
