[PrickMayall]

no, camera work is better on that

Great version.

I like the dynamic of this lineup, with Mick on Drums & RSH the only Guitar, it works great, nothing against Phil of course, I just think they sound great trimmed down like this. Thx for the upload, great clip.

They play Hamlet better than they ever did on this particular clip. Thanks for sharing!

tracy's bass kicks arse on this song

[LSDOTB]

Apparently, Phil Calvert had trouble nailing the drums on this when they were recording, so Mick stepped in. Roland's guitar really fills in alot of space.

[nihilnoise]

how come Mick always plays drums on this song?
