Thanks fot that Philip .

I was thinking , surely bad feelings cannot linger that long , but then I
remembered which band we were talking about :-)

Its just the most amazing piece of music ever , it really is . I regularly
attempt to play along with it and fail miserably . I'll do it one day .

The version on the SF show is absolutely stunning , I agree . Incredible
power that I try to match with every gig I play through my battered old
Carlsboro old faithful .

SF is one of the few live TV shows i own actually . Record fairs in
Newcastle rarely provide any live TV shows for purchase . I'll have to make
a trip to a large fair in London one day with a sack full of cash and get me
some :-)

Cheers P
Andy
