Timeline notes: First live performance of 'High Speed Train' (outside of soundchecks).

Notes:
-After McCarthy MS notes it was from 1987, which he also states was not that good of a year, then admits it asn't that bad.
-Beore High Speed Train MS "Certain songs that Mike and Peter present to me have more of a feeling of my dream world than the actual orld that we move through in our daily life and this song is one of those songs that's set in the near or distant future".
-Before FTR MS notes they haven't played the song "in about a year".
-After LNY, MS introduces the band and then reminisces about seing Bruce Springsteen, The Talking Heads, Blondie and Lou Reed at this theater (or maybe the Kiel Opera House--he can't remember).  He adds that this was his 'ground zero', setting him on the trajectory that brought him here this night.
-PB finshes MOTM with a small solo.

Grade: A
