It was a brisk spring Saturday when we finally pulled into the center of Lille to keep our promise of a free concert: on a sparkling afternoon in the central park of the town, we played to workers carrying lunch pails, baguettes, and carafes of vin ordinaire; mothers with their babies in perambulators, and, of course, hundreds of students, many more than could have been crammed into the tiny hall where we’d originally been scheduled to play….The landscape, the flowers, and the people seemed to radiate a simply joy in just being. Afterward the student promoters embraced us tearfully – they hadn’t believed up until the moment we pulled into town that we would actually make good our promise. It was one of our finest ‘music for the people’ moments.

And the show reflects the incredible atmosphere Phil describes. It is all so good, but the half hour Other One is especially choice, especially when you think of these townsfolk digging the devastating jams and haunting feedback exploration. And you can only imagine the joyous release that, literally the dancing in the streets, that must have broke out through the Sugar Magnolia> Not Fade Away> Goin’ Down The Road Feelin’ Bad that closed out the show.
