BILL perform 3 songs live in 2007 (the band's live act has changed a lot since this show).

"HERE IT IS, UM... NEXT SONG... THE SPIDER TIME NOW. HERE IT IS." Bill Gage covers for the band as they fail to start the song: "SPIDERS NOW, READY? ALRIGHT, LET'S DO IT!" Bill sang this as a different type of horror-film story than the original, with lines like "SPIDER TIME", "SPIDER TOWN", "ALL THE TIME", "THERE IT GOES", and a run of "WHY? WHY? WHY?" which could be Bill quoting one of his favorite singers, Yoko Ono.

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!... ALRIGHT, QUIET, EVERYBODY BE QUIET NOW. (laughs) THIS IS CALLED, UM, 'ALL MY HEART'. (sings) READY. ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR..." Bill starts singing (at 3:18) the moment Eric hits an A-chord-- Eric is only warming up, but Mr. Gage is READY. Bill is a little hoarse in part of the song--we had rehearsed the set the night before--but things like that just push him to do more. somehow he seems to be the only one without water!

"WHOO! ALRIGHT! LISTEN, UM,... THIS... IT'S BIG FOOT NOW. (laughs) HNH, YEAH, BIG FOOT NOW, READY?..." i don't know if anyone responded when he prompted the audience to repeat "BIG FOOT!" (at 7:06), saying "EVERYBODY SING, IT'S THE BIG FOOT TIME!" and cupping his ear. Gaylen and Eric marvel at Bill Gage's memory when he announces "BIG FOOT". the rest of us all needed set lists.

"ALRIGHT, LET'S GO ON A CHOO-CHOO TRAIN NOW! CHOO-CHOO TRAIN...." Mr. Gage says something about the good job the band is doing and announces the next song.

great band

[tovarishchump]

Really great tune love it

[raggedy]

Kind of a mesh of Joy Division, maybe some Can and Throbbing Gristle or Bauhaus or something. These guys really know what they're doing.

I'm gonna get them for my wedding.
