Long Time Coming (Live In Vienna 2018)

I don't doubt it was intentional, but it seemed so ecstatically serendipitous to start the set with "BPM". Just the thought of it gives me mad goosebumps! What a rare, huge deal this recording is! A precious gem! I can almost hear their sigh of relief when the recording turned out good! Blargh, they were probably on the ball all along. Anyway, I'm also grateful they included the obligatory "Medical Man" and "Hambu Hodo". It's a sheeer triumph from start to finish! Thank you guys forever! Feral Drollery
