Bird Song
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden
The enigmatic ego-less confessional of this tune recalls the tome like tone of wharf or china doll, but at its core doesn't really share this dark ambivalence. More of a jamming thing like pitb or even shakedown street or row jimmy. sick deeply ambitious jamming on this!!!!!! murray has nice tone and lines. When he starts fanning on overtones he works the band up showing that there's a lot of gas left in there. the four-limbed beast is tamed and rock steady like a tank yet suggestive of chaos. You know they work those midi and synths on this 15min version, from mariokart mutron, to chamber phil and plonky arpeggiating to a ripping garcia murray masterclass and truckin/too/spanish weave. In search of leads for chonky 93 playing need not apply
