Grateful Dead
Dead To The Core
Noteworthy Bird Songs

This is a collection of noteworthy versions of Bird Song played by the Grateful Dead. It is very closely based on a list put together by Eric Wybenga and published in his book _Dead To The Core: An Almanac of the Grateful Dead_. Two of Eric's recommendations have been released commercially. In one case (71-04-28), I substituted the version from the next night of the same run. In the other case (91-03-16), since there's another Bird Song in Eric's list from a few weeks later, I did not replace the version from Without A Net.

Bird Song was usually played "by itself", the locus of interesting first-set jamming through much of its lifetime. Occasionally Bird Song was part of a larger jam; on those occasions, I included the whole jam in this compilation.

The track names are self-explanatory: they list the date of the performance, the SHNID of the source, and shortened names of the songs included in the track. In each case, the music in these tracks is exactly the same as the music from the source indicated by the SHNID. When necessary, I joined the songs into jams using "shntool join", and then I compressed the files using "flac --best". I used shntool version 3.0.2 and flac version 1.1.3. I did not add any fades, or fix the levels across sources, or otherwise modify the music.
