Timeline notes: Steve Wickham, then of In Tua Nua and later The Waterboys, plays violin on 'Riders In The Sky', '(Don't Go Back To) Rockville' and 'Wolves, Lower'. Presumably to aide in helping his neck, Michael wore a khaki legwarmer on his head for the entire show. In the introduction to 'Auctioneer' Michael reads a few passages from Jack Kerouac's book, 'Vanity Of Duluoz'.
Notes:
-literally the last note of RFE is present in track 1
-MS starts talking only to be cut off by BB drum intro to 7 Chinese Bros "I was going to say something, but I guess I won't"
-Fiddle backing sounds great, makes these very unique versions. Almost sounds like a Theremin
-Wolves has a skip
-Just A Touch is introduced as a song written 250 years ago about Elvis
