Bird Song

Civic Auditorium

Dark, spacey, very psychedelic. Really fits the '83 sound.

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

I can’t believe how good this thing is for each of its 31 minutes. It has everything!
Sugaree
Feb. 20, 1991
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Superb! I didn’t know they still played Sugarees like this in ’91. Jammy and uptempo. Vince sounds great on organ, and Jerry of course provides the X factor.
It Must Have Been The Roses
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

… and is beautifully sung to boot.
Jack Straw
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

It is. In my book, this is one of the best ever. In fact, I am amazed that the top of the Jack Straw chart isn’t wall to wall ’74 versions.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 16, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

I upvoted because what’s here is so well done. The Rio Grande-o singing is missed, but in its place is some really fresh, emphatic playing and a creative segue into Stranger. But yes, check out 7/12 for an equally great and more complete ’89 Half-Step.
