There is an error in the track listings on the booklets/menus for this release. What is described at "Dance of the Dawn (studio run-through)" is actually the extended version of "The Revealing Science of God: Dance of the Dawn" from the 2003 Rhino release

"Dance of the Dawn" (CD2-3, BD-15) is identical to the extended version of "The Revealing Science of God" found on the 2003 remaster from Rhino. The printed booklet erroneously lists this as a "studio run-through" as the packaging was printed before the decision to press this version was made.

The version of "Dance of the Dawn" that appears on CD2-2, BD-5 and BD-10 is the same but is further extended, revealing additional music at 15:39-15:54 and 18:53-19:01 that, like the extended intro of 0:00-1:58, was edited out of the original album release. This detail is not noted anywhere on the packaging.
