Had a listen to the first two shows. I noticed something funny with COTL and yes the song is shortened from 7.52 to 6.04.
Frank's guitar cable doesn't work, so we get some vamping and Adrian soloing for a bit; not sure why this was removed, it's neat to hear them deal with it.
Q: Do you remember singing 'Envelopes' with the 'I'm screwing you' lines?
TM: That started off on the plane. Frank had the piece written, and he was adding a second piano part to it. I'm looking over his shoulder and he says 'Do you like it?' And I say 'Yeah, it's really happening' and I started to sing it. Sure enough, that night I get to the gig and we haven't even started to rehearse 'Envelopes'. And he has lyrics for me to sing, already. He would do that constantly. Very obscene lyrics. I loved that song. It was very difficult, but we pulled it off every night. I had to redo Peter's part when we recorded it.
