[Troy McClure]

The new songs sound great already. That's a real positive. The guys look extremely happy, too. I'd love a really extra long version of 'Low Burn' when they do their own headlining shows. The style of that song is probably my favorite of the band.

I can see this opening a set quite easily. Build it up and off they go.

What is Rick singing at the end of I Exhale?

"Stare, stare, everywhere. If you've got ginger hair. La lalalalalala."

[potatobroth]

i hear a few different phrases one of which ends with "ginger hair". and "Blah blah blah blah blah"

Same!

But as per usual with UW lyrics, I don't dig too deep.
Over the years, reading the transcribed lyrics hasn't done much to change my affection for the songs.

Take " I Exhale,". Didn't like it on first listen, but came to love it subsequently, though I still don't get all the words and meaning.

After flipping through Karl's Instagram today and realizing the Festival was last week, I quick went to YouTube and had a listen - and I Exhale was sounding very nice, very catchy. Happy to see you fine folks have done a great service by collating the rest of the show into something usable as we wait for the album!

Great to see Rick up there this time - looking forward to Berlin and London!

Maybe a little - we are big fans of Carpenter (have tickets to see him play live here in London next Halloween, we saw Alan Howarth this past one - so excited!) but his tunes always sound very ponderous to me with defined notes held for a long time usually within a very narrow range. Not to mention the ancient equipment he composed most of that stuff on giving it a unique sound. If its the bit I think you are talking of, sure I could see that sounding Carpenteresque (and lets be frank, he used a lot of the same sounds for different soundtracks), but pretty coincidental im guessing.
