Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

ambitious, abstract, and involved in the multi-dimensional trappings. Plenty of curiosity but tethered to that amazing 2nd-set logic

What to say about Franklin's Tower.... a tune that feels like comin' home but yet with a wary eye behind you, never knowing what's gonna happen. "Some come to laugh their past away, some come to make it just another day". Chill exploration on those uber-classic chord changes and impassioned delivery from Brent and Jerry on this.
