I was never able to hear it the same again though.<br />I must say that the changeup at 'heyyyy tom banjo' always destroyed the song for me a bit. It is a goofy, stumbling jolt from the flow of the song. I even edited that bit out with adobe audition and like it much better. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610622414048578099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508596483308849125.post-13205474446644163902021-11-11T15:32:32.356-08:002021-11-11T15:32:32.356-08:00Mountains played tonight in London by Tom Constant...Mountains played tonight in London by Tom Constanten & Live Dead on tour .Just lovely<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920990947015875672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508596483308849125.post-6931320661221825242021-09-28T06:24:02.401-07:002021-09-28T06:24:02.401-07:00Phil Lesh and Friends played Mountains wonderfully...Phil Lesh and Friends played Mountains wonderfully.
