Bills sense of humor is actually great. He said once that the problem with getting old is that you get stiff where you don't want to be stiff and soft where you don't want to be soft. Brilliant!

I think there is a lot of (deliberate) comedy in Bills solo work. He definitely has a sense of humour.

Quotegripweed I have a FB friend who did the sound on the STP tour, plus Hawaii and down under in early 1973... Here's a clip he suggests watching, to get a FEEL of what it sounded like in 1972 Tell your friend that his clip was most appreciated. I agree that a certain feel of the sound was transmitted to my computer room.

Thank you RS for surprising us all once again with these energetic and truly inspired shows! Now keep to this formula (short tours at few venues) for (at least) the next 10 years and we'll (too) soon celebrate 60 years.

Quotealimente QuoteBärs However, I think there is a lot of unused musical potential and the song unfortunately reduces itself to a repetitive riff based jam. It's not a song, it's an great idea that could have developed into a song. Sorry, I don't agree concerning "unused musical potential". In fact, the song sounds incredibly constructed - I hear Street Fighting Man, Take It So Hard

Quotepinkfloydthebarberbut i am struggling to understand the term "racist" being used against people in a manner where it was never proven or demonstrated, from what i saw at least, that the "offenders" main intent was to commit a racially motivated 'crime' The Penguin's intentions are obviously irrelevant. This is a question of witch hunt mentality.

It's not bad, but it has the usual problems that's been going on since VL. Too many songs, the songs and arrangements have not matured enough, the sound is flat and lacks depth. They try too much and too little at the same time.
