Bird Song
Sept. 15, 1990
Madison Square Garden

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

For 1995, surprisingly sharp.

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.

Vince's first is a must hear. Anyone who thinks the post-Brent decline was an instantaneous thing needs to listen to these September East Coast shows. Vince's tone was much cleaner and natural sounding than 1992 onward.

This one should shoot way up to the list. The transition is stone cold brilliance and the "Fire" is a nuclear assault.
