Bird Song
July 9, 1989
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
Sept. 6, 1983
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
Sept. 6, 1983
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

The Other One
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena

Oh my GOD, the jam out of Drums on this! Very Santana-esque jam, as Coralsand articulated. Primal 70's hyper-speed muscle. Very choice
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Very interesting to transition into this out of PITB. Love the curveball. Fine version taboot
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Hits a very nice, melodic peak and the unusual meat material in the sandwich is undeniably tasty
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Agree in total with HVD. Sick slipknot and the Franklin's is a very bouncy piece of fun. Great version of the suite - nice choice for 30 days of dead
Truckin'
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

Agree, the Truckin' is fine, but the real magic comes with the NFBM > Drums > Feelin' Groovy Jam. The keys/drum/bass jam after the Drums is super interesting, then Lesh pulls them into an utterly sick Groovy jam. Great, great sequence
