3/26/87 Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT
I have heard people complain that there were no "jams" in the comeback year of 1987. Well, that is just poppycock! This transcendent version of Bird Song flips the bird to all of the naysayers. In fact, it might just be the jam of the year if it were not for the 15-minute Playin' In The Band from 9/19/87. This Bird Song is quite the journey as it traverses through beautiful, quiet green valleys and then soars high above snow-capped mountains into the heavens. The band hits peak after majestic peak with crashing chords, each time taking it a notch further. The result is extremely powerful and exciting. You can feel the electricity running through the feverish East Coast crowd as they were seeing and hearing first hand that Jerry and the Grateful Dead were truly "back."

This would have been one of the greatest album sides ever if it were longer, it’s that good! Love the super-psychedelic video you posted with it too. It makes me think that this is what my brain is doing whenever I listen to Bird Song.
