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

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

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

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

Boutwell Auditorium

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

Very beautiful version. The jam is note for note perfect.

Oh man, this quickly vaulted to one of my favorite versions. Completely locked in playing, Billy driving the band, everyone is razor sharp. First MLB jam kills. Easily one of the more inventive and innovative versions. Deserves massive upvotes

San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Man this one is the goods! Great mellow, ethereal jam for the first 10 or so minutes, then a nice Lesh solo, into a popping Feeling Groovy jam.
