Bird Song
Feb. 17, 1973
St. Paul Auditorium

Bird Song and PiTB finished 1972 on a torrid streak. Both come into 1973 a little sleepier, very pretty version but hasn't quite unfolded into its full 1973 potential I don't think....although that's kind of hair splitting since this is wonderful, that's how it strikes me right now...post-2nd verse soloing is great here which adds something, although not for very long...I don't know, I think it's great but not one of the very best...I gave it a vote, mind

I seem to remember they restarted it <i>in medias res</i>, as it were or was that a different show

Yes it's pretty, but Jerry comes in wrong-footed on the vocals (not for the last time). They get it straightened out pretty quick, but I prefer the next one

Sometimes it's hard to separate the better pre-hiatus versions, but this one is so beautiful
