Jerry sinks his teeth into this jam. A wonder to behold.

Arguably the version in which Bobby forgot the fewest lyrics. Also great, imaginative playing by Jerry throughout.

From the cold depths of 1985 comes a truly great MSWS. Drums are tight, Phil and Bobby sound great, and Jerry repeatedly comes up with gold.

Bobby high in the mix; great guitar-Brent interplay

Bird Songs started to get longer around this time and that's not a bad thing. Listen to what Bobby plays starting at 7:32

So cool that they go into a loose jam out of this tune. Bobby is def playing Wang Dang Doodle.

So sorry to hear it NJ!

It's super weird that Jerry is playing the riff in the wrong key here. It gives to tune an otherworldly feel that's kind of cool, but weird.

This tune is so perfect for Keith. He sounds great, as does Bobby. Love that he's so high in the mix in this SB.
