In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Surprised this isn't higher, it really takes off. [edit:] this S>F is a perfect mix of the combination of feather light disco shards and reggae ass blasting groove that makes great 78 killer
