Another great 1993 version to go with 6/11, 6/21, 8/22, 9/10. Jerry goes nutso.

Another song that roared back to life in 1991. Bobby always nails this one.

From a great run of shows. Jerry kills the jam.

The "Aiko" is here but not the "Woman Are Smarter"? Blasphemy.

A very spunky, sharp and well played version with Jerry on fire. He owns this whole first set.

"Days" is fine if placed well, but imagine if Bobby saved "The Other One" for this night instead of 12th and Jerry followed it with either "Wharf Rat" or "Dew." Alas, not to be.

I feel like Bob did this purely out of spite towards Jerry as the pre-Drums had been all him except for PITB. Even if I don't care much for the "Scarlet -> Fire," that 5 pack is still pretty fucking massive and it was obvious the crowd was digging it...then Bobby shoots that momentum to hell.

Awesome performance.
Bird Song

Activity Center - University of Colorado

This one is played kind of fast and clunky. The best "Bird Song"'s are slow and stately, this one doesn't quite get there. Some good moments, though.

One of the best. Magisterial.
