this is by no means a quote, but heres what I remeber people saying:
Tim and adrian were talking about bugs once, and they said that they were never happy with the arrangement to it. They spent alot of time re-working it and finnaly got a version they though would work. They played that once while on tour, and it was horrible, so they just dropped the song completely.
These are the last times bugs appeared in setlists. Before this, it was always a few times a month. I dont know that there is a copy of 7/9 in circulation, but if there is and this conversation was accurate, then it contains the one time version of bugs.
