Great version out of a nice Bird Song that suffers due to only an audience recording existing. Still definitely worth the listen though

I keep coming back to this show (one of the greatest of all-time) and Bobby's vocals on this one are especially fantastic. IMO this is the best he ever sounds. And this acoustic set is best ever!!! Favorite version of the song

Wish this song was jammed out when they first started playing it in the early '70s, with this '91 version being the prime reason why

I really dig the drum break in the middle of this. Wish they never got rid of WRS but the drums are awesome with Bill and Mickey back together and it does add a little somethin to the song. Anddd because I am such a WRS fan, the subtle outro jam into Dancin is fantastic!
