This one's a blast. The last minute of "China" is just crazy interplay.

Vinny's inaugural "Bird Song" is a 14 minute monster.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Vince's synth playing on the solo really gets to the ethereal heart of the song beautifully. At one point he has a 'choir' sound going that fits so perfectly.

"Words never do this song justice" Neither do live versions.

Comparing this to 4/15/78 is interesting. The 1978 one is more traditional in terms of pacing and momentum, and I guess I can see how this one can seemed forced since they really drag it out at a lumbering pace. But I judge my "Dew"'s on how authentically make me feel like the world is ending, and this one gives me just that. Both are pretty spec-fucking-tacular, though.

Civic Arena

This is a Top 3 "Shakedown." The energy is unreal. I shit you not and will fight any who challenge me. You can lose five pounds just jammin' out to this one.

The vocal breakdown is really sublime.
