Super hot show opener, Jerry is here to PLAY! Speedy licks all over. Possibly the best first set of the year, although totally unknown show.

The very slow tempo that a lot of first set songs had in 1992 suits this one wonderfully.

Probably the most underrated version in the history of Bird Songs. Incredible jazzy jamming from Jerry that peaks extremely hard.

Just exactly perfect. Slow, emotive, and well-played. Jerry's old-man vocals fit this one perfectly.

Doesn't get better than this, folks. An absolute trip - Bob screaming like he hadnt since 1974 and raving about the aborigines. Fantastic mid solo too, several minutes long.

Should have a lot more votes. Lightning strikes the stage and knocks out the power briefly mutilple times, egging the band (especially Jerry and the drummers) to new heights. Great AUD

Three Rivers Stadium

Very decent version. I enjoyed it but unfortunately I can't say it feels like much more than noodling is coming from Jerry in the jam. Spacey is great, but unfocused is not.

Fillmore Auditorium

Absolutely GRIMEY version, great spooky scary sexy pigpen vocals and then a very weird jam. god i fucking love this band

Trippy version, awesome soloing and strong vocals. 83 is full of weird little gems
