The Bats perform "Mastery"

[indienella]

So charming, so magical! What's in the water in New Zealand to produce such amazing bands?

[clumpft]

Oh fucking hell, there should be monuments of the bats on every street corner, they're just soooo damned good!!!!!!!!

[nickmelucci]

One of the truly great unsung (no pun intended) bands of the late 80s-early 90s. Glad to hear their still at it.

[diskochimp]

One of their best...

[aheckideus]

The way Paul plays on this one is simply awesome !!!

I love mistakes. They're human. This is a great performance of a gorgeous song. By the New Zealand Beatles. Thanks for posting.

[dannevirkenz]

Thank you so much for posting! A much missed classic piece of kiwi music. (Lost to me through a shredded tape!)

[sneakyflutes]

awesome!

[CountofLilies]

that mistake is so minor, just one note! a nice variation i think

[falk0076]

Thank you for posting!!

[julianchosun]

Hah! The classic sheepish-grin-and-look-goofey-­smile!

It's another one of those moments where if you bluff it and keep going, most of the audience think you're probably just doing something mildly jazzesque-ish.

Whatever - it's a great tune I don't remember catching before; and it's a great recording - with a classic moment included, too!

Thanks for sharing it.

reminds me of gardening for some reason...

[PocketMusicNZ]

This song was borrowed for the NZ TV3, Annie Whittle hosted gardening programme, Living Earth.

[kiwimarke]

Classic!!

[PocketMusicNZ]

We thought this was lost for good. Kaye's guitar lead blue had magnified into a huge mistake which has blighted her life. She feels happier now seeing it's insignificance alongside a great performance of one of Robert's best songs.

[oscartripe]

Yeah, I don't think it kills the spell in the slightest, Paul. Best to you & Kaye & yours!

[Tshea13]

The bum not that doesn't detract whatsoever. Charming performance. Please come back to the states soon--specifically Seattle. The Guilty Office is great. Cheers.

[falk0076]

Absolutely amazing!  Thank you SO much for posting! This made my day!
