Laser effects from Brent's hammond, collective funk with downright blazing passages; On par with NYE 84', Smoking X-factor opener

Drums -> Space the opportunity to find ones way to Neptune, this Space achieves liftoff and descent in transitioning into a blissful Dew

X factor jamming with Garcia playing some unique soaring leads in the modal scale. Ending jam has similarities to a strong version on 10/12/83.

Garcia on fire

Not sure why they dropped it, they probably just didn't enjoy playing it anymore, and didnt feel it fit in with the normal rotation of songs. Some of their songs just fell by the wayside, not because they were bad, but because it was tiresome playing a configuration that was a little bit odd. Bird Song although a great song, was maybe felt to be too complex for the slot it was given. Really they should have kept it in the rotation for longer. Again, I have no real concrete idea for why the dropped such a great song, so I will pose the same question again in which Carrion asked, why did they drop it? Perhaps with the official release some lurker may just have the answer, if so speak up.

This version is fucking incredible

This version is sick. A really high energy version. This really kicks ass, and throughout there are hints at something like an MLB jam or dark star jam. Definitely one of my favorites. Truly dank and needs more votes.

This version is fucking intense

This version is just sick
