From the cold depths of 1982. Powerful, imaginative solo with surprising twists and turns. Listen to the matrix.

Jerry's playing is sharp as hell. Incredible sounding AUD for this show too.

When Jerry was on in this era it was phenomenal the way he had feeling and dynamics in the touch of the pick

One of the best solos I've heard on this tune. If you like your solos light on notes and heavy on feeling, listen up.

The intervals and touch and chromatic phrases in the solo are fantastic

Love the melody Phil plays at the end. He just invents a new tune. Wish everyone played along with it some more.
Bird Song

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Jerry lays out crystal clear ideas in the jam, one after the other.

Brent sings this great and Jerry totally kills it

Damn, here I am commenting on this again?? This a sick, psychedelic Bird Song with Bobby leading the charge. Breaks down into pure space in multiple places. No wonder they didn't play Dark Star back then, they didn't need to.

Fantastic jam into The Other One. Phil is brilliant.
