    amazing performances all round but dan CRUSHES that bass line. so melodic and groovy, even compared to the album version, which is still great, he's throwing in all sorts of juicy nuggets and spicing it up. as usual amazing songwriting from the possible giants.

    I really freekin love John's diction. I mean, how many bands have singers that articulate their words? Been on board as a TMBG fan since flood came out. Love you guys, keep your high quality records comin. I will buy them.

    Pretty good performance. Conan is awesome, and even more awesome for giving the Giants such respect that they deserve. I love how tight the ending was. Linnell's voice carries that last note perfectly.

    Conan doesn't shake with Marty because Mary's wearing casual clothing. Fancy shirts only, pal.
