Madison Square Garden

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

For 1995, surprisingly sharp.

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.

I love this version. Which they kept it like this.

What a trio! Must've motivated to Bobby to grab the spotlight back with the kickass TMNS that followed.

Powerful version that could use a few more votes. Jerry's voice is strained and cracks a couple of times, but he's giving it his all and the guitar work is excellent, Phil's also all over this one.

First one since 1987, and honestly one of the better ones I've heard. Amazingly beautiful, everyone's together for this one.

Jerry had some tech issues in this first set, that's probably it's not as widely known. But the whole band is really on.
