1989 was a very good year for Birdsongs. This one deserves consideration along with 10/8/89 and 12/8/89.

The Without A Net version. Listen to it with good headphones and you will truly appreciate how the drummers could use the venue as another instrument.

Great Western LA Forum

People are afraid to vote for the versions on the contemporary compilation releases. But I think the people who made them knew what they were doing.
