Bird Song

The Omni

huge chaotic version a la 6/19/94. Vince starts pouring some spice in the stew and the rest is history, this one goes from ethereal and jazzy to chaotic to euphoric.

Walker source is screamin'! no hammond again, but another firecracker version. Quite slow and menacing, vocals quaking with desperation. Phil bombs. another fantastic version
