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.

RFK Stadium

For 1995, surprisingly sharp.

Crazy Fingers
Oct. 17, 1994
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.

Days Between

Autzen Stadium

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

MSG, Baby! Good start to the last show ever at the venue.

Dark Star
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

This, 9/10, and 10/18 are some of the most beautiful, subtle and musical versions ever performed. No weird feedback breakdowns or anything, just epic displays of how good the band can be.
Passenger
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

The raw coarseness in Brent's voice fits the harmonies so much better than Donna's.
Bertha
April 15, 1978
William and Mary College Hall

Fantastic version. Tight as can be and rocks like nobody's business.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This one rips a hole in the space-time continuum.
Black Throated Wind
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

One of many tasty delights from the best show of 1995.
