Notes:
-The Outsiders is introduced "This song takes place in your heart".
-World Leader Pretend, Undertow are the goodies this night.
-Before HST MS speculates that, by 2005, all the world's major cities will be joined by high speed trains.
-Before IOL MS tells of drawing inspiration from a Patti Smith song about drawing energy and projecting it to the the crows song after song..

​

EBR Grade: B

-More balanced sound than Remer,  Surfaced on Dime in early 2023.

​

Remer Grade: C
-Punchy, perhaps a bit too much and chatty.

-Interesting exchange caught by taper in audience during MOTM "Get your hands off me" to which the reply "No, no I won't".
