Keep Your Day Job
Oct. 11, 1983
Madison Square Garden

Seriously rockin'. I thought Day Job was always an encore but I looked it up and especially when they first introduced the song in 1982/83 they put it in a few different positions including sometimes opening the 2nd set and sometimes closing the first set, as they do here.
Bird Song

Madison Square Garden

This is really a fantastic Bird Song. Fast and crisp and falls into a hypnotic groove.
