I had forgotten how much I love this show! From BEW to the end this show provides some exemplary playing. This BEW is butter, clean as a whistle.

Very, very tight version. Weir goes crazy, and screams. Really good rendition, in a hot show.

Garcia gives it his all. Rippin' solos, and clear concise leads. Voice is a little rough, but he manages to hit pretty high levels of insanity.

Big version w/ Clarence Clemons on sax

Strong Jerry solo.

Not sure why they dropped it, they probably just didn't enjoy playing it anymore, and didnt feel it fit in with the normal rotation of songs. Some of their songs just fell by the wayside, not because they were bad, but because it was tiresome playing a configuration that was a little bit odd. Bird Song although a great song, was maybe felt to be too complex for the slot it was given. Really they should have kept it in the rotation for longer. Again, I have no real concrete idea for why the dropped such a great song, so I will pose the same question again in which Carrion asked, why did they drop it? Perhaps with the official release some lurker may just have the answer, if so speak up.

This version is fucking incredible

This version is sick. A really high energy version. This really kicks ass, and throughout there are hints at something like an MLB jam or dark star jam. Definitely one of my favorites. Truly dank and needs more votes.

This version is fucking intense

This version is just sick
