this is a serious version- Phil gets some radioactivity early in the solo and it's off to the races!

great lively kits, and horrifying beam-staring into the sun at full tilt. Comprehensive schoenberg space. iykyk. The best have lasting ramifications.

huge chaotic version a la 6/19/94. Vince starts pouring some spice in the stew and the rest is history, this one goes from ethereal and jazzy to chaotic to euphoric.

Walker source is screamin'! no hammond again, but another firecracker version. Quite slow and menacing, vocals quaking with desperation. Phil bombs. another fantastic version
