Big, boomy, mountain-scary drums from one of the best shows in '84. Hair-raising.

Very tight, jammed-out version from my favorite '84 show.

LET PHIL SING! Also, if you listen to the "Scarlet Begonias" performed just before this, you may find God.

Also, sweet distortion tone on the Travis Bean at the end.

Correct, OP. These are confirmed "altered" shows. The photos of Bobby in the boxed-set, all bug-eyed and smiling, are hilarious, for those of us who like to snicker about these things (~):-}

A lot of really smooth work here from Garcia. He just melts down those Bakersfield solos.

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

April '84 was a BIG time for "Bird Song," as evidenced by the number of submissions here. But this one is over-the-top, man.
