This was always remembered by the band as one of the high points in our
live performances, probably just because we got an excellent response from
the crowd. Tim V once said that he could see sparks flying through the air
during our version of Remake / Remodel! In any case, it's obvious that
we're enjoying ourselves even if some of the songs are sloppily played.
It's a professional recording by 2JJ using the ABC's mobile truck and was
initially destined to be used on the radio somewhere, somehow but, as it
turned out, it was never played. At the gig we were supported by Tactics
and headlined by The Thought Criminals. During the set-up of the
instruments I managed to spill an urn of hot (not boiling) water all over
my legs, scalding them somewhat and I couldn't play with my pants on. So,
that's why there's talk of me feeling silly with a scarf around my legs
and so on. Best moments - Winchsoul is intense and well played and
Connection (which we dropped from live shows after this) is almost
perfect, tight and punky and with only one small out of kilter section to
mar it in any way.
