Dark Star
Nov. 5, 1970
Capitol Theater

Delivers the welcomed drippy, psychedelic ice-cream cone to the head. Integral member of the whole 1970 family joyride of Dark Stars… featuring the shit-eating grin of 6/24 at the wheel.
Bird Song
Dec. 31, 1987
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Had to go way down to find this one lurking here. 87 is really strong. Top-form for these musicians right here. Brings the listener right in. Shall we go… and jump off the platform? A quick side-step here, an escalation there, more musical chips tossed into the middle by each and for all. Consumption. Ascension. And more. Ah yes, this is why we came. Push this higher and higher. No rush. But it all happens so fast. Super-engagement. …Don’t cry now… but it’s that good.
New Minglewood Blues

You mean 3/27/91? Agree.
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

Capital Centre

Phil tackling this really blew open the musical dimensions they explored, here combining his unique intonations with Dylan's writing -- it comes off as comical, in the best sense of serious and fun entertainment.
