DESCRIPTION: To start off, a cover of Pink Floyd's Young Lust which dissolves into White Man's Moccasins. The outro telephone conversation of Young Lust is revisited the following night in Syncopated Strangers just before they start that patiently developed "Jimmy Stewart". We close out our look back at November where we started, at the Barrymore, with the much talked about Tribute to the Spinal Shaft featuring the "Cemetery Stew" rumored to now be a song in progress. After a long overdue revisit to the Beastie Boys' instrumental Groove Holmes, the band approaches terminal velocity with a climactic finish. (umphreys.com)
