Great harp solo, solid smoldering jam. Pig's voice is brilliant.

A sweet and subtle acoustic gem, with some of the NRPS boys.

So deep. The crowd interaction is brilliant, and Pig just scoops everyone right up. The AUD funkiness just adds that extra depth.

One of the midnight shows that confuse historians, but one of the sweet-harmony Candymans that just slay me. No confusion there.

Distinctly slower groove than others, like they were trying something new with it. Does it work? Not sure, but an interesting take on it.

Keith's musicality on display too. His accompanyment to Jer during the climax is top form.

This one has all the blazing voices in the head on the verge of madness trippiness that the great Estimateds can bring. Bobby's perfect.

This one pokes you in the eye and demands your attention. NOT backgroud music.

From the first note this version just rocks. Jer's all over it on his first solo, which is quite different from other BEW of the time. Lovely "oooh oooh" harmonies from Bobby and Donna, too.

Not only 22 minutes, but 22 interesting, musically exploring solo-after-solo minutes. My new favourite.
