What a great live version. I'm 44, had not listened to Cracker for about 20 years, but for 10 days now I have been having a massive Cracker phase. It started with the line "my face in magazines, the lesbian James Dean" popping up in my head, continued with "Forever", and since then I have been listening a lot to the first three albums and live versions. And now I'm ready to discover new stuff, albums after 2002. Reminds of how I discovered the band. 1996, on TV in Germany, somewhere "100 Flower Power Maximum" was used and I loved it. Was not easy then to find out who the band was. I did somehow, took the train from my village to Hannover, the next big city, one hour away. The amazing record store 25 Music had "The Golden Age". I was happy, went home, listened the whole evening, only pausing it because a film on TV caught my attention ("Duel", Spielberg, 1971). I then made my two best friends become Cracker fans and my dad as well, who loves "The Golden Age". And here I am again. Great that the band is still around - looking forward to catching up with the albums. If I did not have hyperacusis, I would wanna see them live some day. I guess they don't do purely acoustic shows. Anyway, happy to be enthusiastic about the band again after such a long time! P.S. Just now I realised how much I like the bassline on this song!
Superb cut from the awesome Kerosene Hat Bass rocks, Johnny playing it with his usual skill and DL fronting like only he can Need to get me a baseball cap like Dave
@ElvisKapesta That's what happens when you strum with a quarter ;) (j/k)... I'm so used to our guitarist breaking strings even with a medium gauge pic that I learned his solos on my hammond so I can cover whilst he switches... and yes it happened on this song as well ;)
