Request for ‘Bird Song’ at Biltmore!

As we all know that Bruce was a member of the Dead for quite some time, he often performs Dead songs at his shows. This Biltmore show is the first show after the anniversary of Jerry Garcia’s death (9 Aug/95).

The song Bird Song, written by Garcia and Hunter, was written as a tribute to Janis Joplin.

The first line of the song is, “All i know is something like a bird within her sang. . .”.

Phil Lesh now sings the line, “All i know is something like a bird within HIM sang. . .”, as a tribute to Jerry.

In honor of Jerry and one of the better written Dead songs, and with the Biltmore show being the first show after the anniversary of his death, let us hope Bruce gives us a Biltmore rendition of Bird Song, replacing the lyrics as Phil Lesh does in honor of Jerry.

Soooo, scribble Bird Song on a piece of paper and leave it at the piano’s feet as a request (as fans know, this is a common thing to do). Better yet, make an origami bird, or cut out the shape of a bird, or. . .anything. . .
Enough of us doing this will be very meaningful to Bruce. . .

good fun-
