Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Bird Song” at the Shoreline in Spring of ‘91

The Grateful Dead are back with another installment of All the Years Live on YouTube. The latest footage comes from the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA during the Dead’s spring tour.

Towards the end of the first set, the Dead posted a lengthy “Bird Song” clocking in over 18 minutes. Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux notes about the performance, “From Jerry’s 1972 debut solo album, Bird Song joined the Dead’s repertoire in 1971, and after slipping out of the song list in September 1973, it rejoined in its acoustic arrangement in September 1980, and electrically a couple of months later. It would remain a large part of the Dead’s first sets for the next 15 years, including this great rendition with Bruce Hornsby.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!

Watch Grateful Dead’s “Truckin’” in Mountain View in Fall of ‘87

The Grateful Dead are back with another installment of All the Years Live on YouTube. The latest stop on the long strange trip is the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA during fall tour, 1987.

Halfway through the Dead’s second set on 10/2/1987, before breaking into “Drums and Space,” they treated Mountain View to “Truckin’.” Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux notes about the performance, “Played well over 500 times by the Grateful Dead, Truckin’ (along with Touch Of Grey in 1987) was one of the Dead’s highest-charting numbers, including going straight to the top of the charts, numero uno, in some places, including Turlock, CA. This is from the Dead’s first performance at Shoreline Amphitheatre.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the performance!

Watch Phish’s Monster “Tweezer at the Shoreline Amphitheatre

Phish just finished their summer leg of the tour and boy was it a doozy. The p-fish are in top form returning to the stage after nearly a year and half due to COVID. While the length of jams isn’t necessarily an indicator of quality, this tour has produced some prodigious jams that are as captivating as they are long.

One of the last great jams of the tour came at the Shoreline Amphitheatre on night two. Shoreline wasn’t originally on the tour schedule, but after Lake Tahoe was submerged in smoke by nearby wildfires, Phish had to pull a last minute audible. After opening with “The Lizards,” Phish launched into an epic 34-minute “Tweezer.”

Thanks to Phish for releasing the jam on their YouTube channel.
