Great version out of a nice Bird Song that suffers due to only an audience recording existing. Still definitely worth the listen though

Fillmore East (Late Show)

legendary intro, made my day before even starting the show! (And this song rocks in all it's acoustic glory)

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Don't like this one as much as 5/19 but that might be because of the segue that one comes out of.... This NFA>GDTRFB and the WRS>DS>China Doll make for a monster second set here. Incredible transition out of NFA, though, might be one of the best I've ever heard

Super laid back, a new favorite.... Just so damn smooth! And that transition into Dark Star is incredible. A must listen!
