  • There is a great CD by this band called Live In Krakow on a French label called Label Bleu that came out in 2003. This track is on it. I am gonna post some footage of David in the next day or so.

  • Wow "Turntable Pounding" live by one of the greatest musicians in the world in one of the greatest cities in the world!! I am from NY but lived in Czech Republic for 5 years, LOVED IT!!!!

  • And don't forget: this is available on CD as well with a pretty much better sound for even more pleasure !!!

    Krakauer at its best.
