Fine, fine 1989 version with a very enjoyable and weird jam into "D/S."

20 minute version with momentum and creativity galore. Held my attention the entire time.

Very cool soundcheck version released on the 2018 30 Days of Dead. It would've been cool if they busted out at this great Memphis show.

Bird Song
Sept. 20, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Bird Song was done two nights later with Dave Murray.
Playin' In The Band
June 6, 1993
Giants Stadium

This should not be languishing with four votes. Playing itself is a total mess with laughably bad Bobby vocals, but the jam is an absolutely gargantuan example of the band at their latter day best. It's scary, engaging, exploratory and totally worth the listen. Can hang with 5/26/93. This is a major leaguer.
Touch of Grey
May 1, 1988
Frost Amphitheatre

Yea, this one is great. Really fired up version.
Cumberland Blues
May 27, 1993
Cal Expo

Don't sleep on this show. Everyone raves about the night before because of the major league "Playing in the Band" jam, but this show is every bit as good with a topsy turvy second set and a strong first set as well.
Wharf Rat
March 28, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Very strong "Wharf Rat" with a nice long intro and outro.
