Key element of the weirdness of this show for me.

Infused with the same reggae/calypso quirkiness from the stellar "S>F" and before.

My favorite shows always tend to start with this. Weird.

The quirk of this is when I felt the show take on its own character.

Childhood's End

The Palace

I'm sorry this song never really gained traction in the band's repertoire. Outside of the practical benefit of encouraging Phil to write more songs and help carry some of the weight in these last years, it's really not a bad song. Many of the lyrics rely on the same kaleidoscope of images present throughout the band's music (both original and covers), and Phil's a decent singer.

The performance is at best a B-, but there are some great shots of Jerry in the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enFUFjzrkWo).

This is the best I've heard. Fantastic version that simply struts.

We've all heard dozens of these, but I think this one is worth a listen.
