Bird Song

Giants Stadium

Very inspired playing. Jazzy swing from the rhythm devils, Lesh is barreling down the low end, and Jerry dancing the leads to a powerful conclusion

New Minglewood Blues
Sept. 6, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This one takes a bit before the boys get their footing, but once they do, LOOK OUT. Choice peak in this throbber

Alabama Getaway

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

SCREAMING start to the show. Boys attack like rabid dogs. Great Brent solo in here. Welcome to Red Rocks!

Uncle John's Band

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This one opens up nicely, and continually unfolds, into a seamless segue into PITB reprise

Promised Land
Dec. 15, 1978
Boutwell Auditorium

They are playing in Birmingham, the song mentions Birmingham, mass crowd hysteria ensues. Hot version though, so justifiable

Great energy, solid precision, band sounds like they are in the moment and having fun. Very enjoyable China > Rider
Feel Like A Stranger
July 10, 1989
Giants Stadium

Deep, sultry groove to open the show, paired with a triumphant Franklins. Agree with comment above on thick Phil groove work
Doin' That Rag
Feb. 27, 1969
Fillmore West

Jerry falsetto and crunchy, bouncy bluesy jam. Heater!
Morning Dew
Nov. 10, 1967
Shrine Auditorium

Digging this bouncy version. Excellent ramp up for the close
Wharf Rat
April 25, 1977
Capitol Theater

This version is everything. Jerry's licks leading into the jam portion are indelibly etched into my brain. I have no shame in double commenting - this one is one of the absolute tops and deserves dap.
