Awesome, to put it mildly, and an unexpected treat. It
was done as part of the earthy set, right after
"Luritja Way" and preceding Tin Legs. The band really
rocked during these numbers, as well as with US Forces
and Only the Strong. I think there's a special genius
at play here. Holding out with a few different numbers
for each show, with these lesser visited musical spaces
creating a little extra energy and excitement for the
crowd, but especially for the band. I don't know, but
reports seem to indicate that the lesser played numbers
were the highlights. This was certainly the case at
Calgary, where Us Forces and Only the Strong just about
blew the roof off...

PS Thanks to David Brass for his outstanding reports of
the CAnadian dates. Have a safe trip home, Dave, and
ya'll come back now, eh!
