The drumstick clicks are such a perfect segue, it seems there had to be some design to that. Of course, on the LP equivalent, they split "Mica" and "Weatherbox" with the end of a record side! So I suppose there's countless different ways to approach these things. Incidentally, I always rather liked that live "Red," but we got plenty of Burma coming our way.

Rick and the band were never happy about that rendition. They chose quality over completeness in this instance, always a hard choice I admit. (Who knows how many more live recordings Rick has in his vaults? Well, he taped every single show from that farewell tour, so lots.) Against that, the version of "Red" from the all-ages show at the Bradford (the DVD packaged with Vs.) is fantastical. I think you guys will enjoy. Re: Red.

That said, these ones are the shit. I'm not sure that that's been adequately emphasized. And of course, your hard-earned dollars are going to support a very worthy cause.
