1994 Demo (location unknown) (to me!)

This tape is like eating a great meal!

Ahhhh, you bastards!  You think I didn't keep up with you guys after I left! Poppycock and tummyrot! I even sent friends of mine to see you a couple of times, on sort of like reconnaissance missions!

I don't know where I got this tape; probably from Ted.  Never listened to it!  Let's put it on, shall we?

Ride Into Town
This is the only song I don't know!  This was a big song for LOOB - but after I left!  This didn't exist when I was in it!

Listening to this, wow, listen to Hubie rap! Oh man, beautiful bass.  Go Dan!  What a great song!  This goes to many places!  Very cool!  Is that Frank on guitar?  Ok, Mike's verdict: love it.  I give it four chickabooms!

Ok, now....I Owe!

Oh man, you guys kept in the entrance to the break, that was my idea!  I've been looking for a version of us doing it!  Haven't found one! So psyched to hear that!!  We changed that right before I left, I loved playing it that way.  Cool vocal stuff at the end that's new to me, cool! Oh man, who's singing bass? That's great!  Is that Frankie?

Return Britain, ok, let's check this out.  Hmmm.  Mmmm-hmmmm.  Oh yeah.  Nice Lawrence! Wow, that is a fucking great guitar solo, Frankie!  ("Ride Into Town" also!).  Dan and Ted have fantastic interplay, nice!  Nice long version...I'm all about "Return Britain", you all know that!  Great crowd!  Look at you guys!  Look at LOOB!  Oh man, Dan on the tom-toms, building......now bringing it all home.....great, great ending! Great crowd!  I give this four yadahays!

What You Say - HA!  Look at this!  A totally different "What You Say"!  Fast!  Whew!! We never changed the arrangement of this particular song when I was in it, so this is definitely wild to hear!....Listen to this scat part, hahahahaha!  Wow.....well this takes "What You Say" to places unimaginable when it was first written, let me tell you!  Listen to this jazz section!!!!!  Listen to that drummer!  Whew!  You guys is-a-playin' fast!  How you guys arrived at this arrangement I will never know!!

Well, I don't know about you but  I'm wrung out!  Excellent!  You gave those people a good time,that's for sure! Me, too! The only thing left to say is.....could you put me on your mailing list?
