Brent is one great musician... he comes up with a long melt, weir in tow, thrilling kits duet, so weightlifting, noisy bursty space into guitars!!! A+

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
