Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Tight and sprightly arrangement but slightly more pained and sad vocal than usual, as if he's really thinking about the words he's singing. Lovely.

Greek Theatre - University of California

Not the most delicate reading, this packs a confident punch and paves the way for a sweet fast jazzy Eyes.

Ragged but right (on).

Bird Song

Madison Square Garden

One of the sweeter yet still midi exploratorily '93 Bird Songs. To used the tired old cliché, surprised it wasn't already here yet.

A little tape distortion doesn't make it a perfect one but Jerry sings well. Drums>Space w/Baba Olitunji to follow is great

That Crazy Fingers makes for painful listening.
Ramble On Rose

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Listening to this show for the first time. Incredibly strong for what was their undeniably worst year.
Jack Straw

Stanley Theater

Powerful exuberant take with a hint of rage.
Loser

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Jerry plays and sings the hell out of this.
Dark Star

Public Hall

My current 'go to' version this last couple of weeks. As well as its depth, it has a certain swing and insouciance lacking in some other versions.
