Pure mad mental, as we used to say in Scotland. WOW, they really just let rip. Good track to dance to if you need to work of some high energy

Due to Phil no longer being able to sing and trying to reach for the high parts, this absolutely beautiful song tends to get massacred post 72. This,however, is a fairly decent version from a great show.
