Bird Song

Madison Square Garden

Hornsby's first "Bird Song" as a member is nearly 15 minutes of bliss. Nice harmonies, too.

For 1995, surprisingly sharp.

Crazy Fingers

Madison Square Garden

The intro is a bit messy (what else is new), but Jerry's swift fills and impassioned vocals are the stars here.

Haunting like all of them. Jerry's solo starts a bit dull but he hits his stride pretty quickly.

Eyes Of The World
June 11, 1993
Buckeye Lake Music Center

I actually thought this was an excellent "Eyes." Not as long as previous versions but very tight with Jerry and Phil especially on the money. There are very few versions of the song I go to post-Hornsby, but this is one of them.

I actually think the set is pretty solid if you forgive "Easy Answers." That could just be me having liberal standards, though.

This version starts on the moon and winds up in hell. Can't get enough of it.

You know, the beginning of this song sounds like Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" a little bit, and you think it's gonna be somewhat interesting, than it morphs into the Love Boat theme.

Agreed with your points about 3/27/94 (which, by the way, is an all around really good show - "Deal" and "O1" are also fantastic, as is the 13 minute "Aiko Aiko). That one is Top 5 EVER, and I agree that it is on par with 1977 ones. These South Carolina shows are actually excellent.
