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.

Barnburner.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

One of the best "China Cat"'s I've ever heard. This deserves a shit ton of votes.
Playin' In The Band
July 29, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

This covers in 11 minutes what a lot of other versions take 15, 20, or 30 (or 46) to do so. Tight, compact version with sick work from everyone. Phil kills it here.
The Music Never Stopped
June 25, 1992
Soldier Field

Sick version; Vince does some of his best ever work in the jam.
Cassidy
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

This is a full band effort that leaps out of the gate and builds to a great conclusion. Flawlessly lands into possibly the best ever "Might as Well."
