This piece follows the original arrangement pretty close, though it's got some extra instruments and and live feel, with some improvisations.

It was originally recorded as a medley on Mutherpluckin' B's album 8-Bit Democracy, available at http://lidbjork.homelinux.org/nintendo

Boz shouts:

It's a shame. Making it live would have been great, if not for all the bum notes and REALLY loose timing. Sorry...

C64ever shouts:

I like the original sid, this is a bit average though.

nicodaemus shouts:

What Boz said. I mean, some parts of it are really good, but there're some serious technical knock-outs in here. Shame, though...

roberto76 shouts:

Perfect! It's live stuff! From this so beautiful. Not mechanical. I like him very much.

chabee shouts:

5 star ;)

Itekei shouts:

Argh

LaLa shouts:

Holds more promise than what it delivers. The timing is way loose, even -I- can notice that. That lead from 0:25 just shreds my ears to pieces. The second half is a lot more enjoyable with all the improvs. The ending is too abrupt and out-of-place.

omoroca shouts:

Hurts!

prowler shouts:

Quite good, but there are too many instruments competing of attention. And not all jamming is good just because it's jamming...

NecroPolo shouts:

Okay, timing, etc... But it smells like live. C'mon guys! Some things are sometimes off - but that's the way of things go onstage. Reyn's 'Dayo' is still my #1 - but MPB's is a tasteful, alive, juicy jamtrack and doesn't pretend to be something else.

Very faithful to the spirit of the original, though it's got a lot of competition in the Deyo stakes! Sounds very live! I'm giving a red for sheer effort, plus it sounds like a lot of fun at the recording😊
