Bird Song

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

Cold Rain and Snow
Aug. 21, 1980
Uptown Theatre

Powerful opener! These August Uptown shows are amazing. Really digging the Stankiewicz AUD too.
Black Throated Wind
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

A new favorite version? Big crescendo at the end as the song seems to boil over with feeling. “Drowning in you” indeed.
Caution
April 16, 1972
Aarhus University

Caution and UJB weren’t played at this show.
Not Fade Away
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Blazing, but sophisticated, deep, and varied. At times a little mysterious or menacing. One of the very best I’ve heard.
Samson and Delilah
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Jerry and Phil light this one up with 16th notes. One of the more electrifying versions I’ve heard in a while.
