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.

Comes A Time

Knickerbocker Arena

Jerry's weathered voice is great here, but his solos, oh man the solos, killer emotional stuff.

Madison Square Garden

Completely epic version. Except for 12/16/94, I enjoy this even more than the ones with Branford. They let Murray do a lot more and he takes charge during the jam.
Wang Dang Doodle

Deer Creek Music Center

What are your top two? 3/20 and 12/16?
Eyes Of The World
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Maybe the best post-Hornsby version. Relaxed groove, beautiful work from Jerry.
He's Gone
Sept. 14, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Still my go-to version. They are absolutely singing this for Brent. No other version has such an emotional pull for me. A perfect version.
