This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

One of my favorite versions. Tight musically and great vocals by all. Oh yeah and Brent was a monster on keys that summer tour.

Keith is all over this version (and show).
Bird Song

Greek Theatre - University of California

Release it! This Bird Song here is a beaut. I love the Dancin'>Bird Song opening sequence. Now, that there is the way you open up a show when you mean business, which they did.. Excellent stuff.

Voc's and playing all in the proper syncopation. This was the song that made me realize this show was special.
