Great version out of a nice Bird Song that suffers due to only an audience recording existing. Still definitely worth the listen though

Pretty stellar first go-around with this one if you ask me...And that's considering the ceiling of where they would take this in the future

Stumbled across this through the 2015 30 days of dead and this is a real groovy song! Whole band sounds awesome at this point

Don't think this is a fast and tight version but rather more loose and mellow...and I love it!
