    Yeah that performance of Dragon was utterly gorgeous, because of that tension and discomfort. It was the best part of this show. Pulled my heart and guts right out of my mouth.

    I love that the live footage looks like it was recorded on a VHS camcorder from 1994. Timeless. Also, I just happen to have that same cycling cap that Buck is wearing, cool!

    18:37 i'm obsessed with this part where Adrianne talks about how she wasn't feeling so great performing 'Dragon New Warm Mountain' & everyone is like "ah I felt alright" & she's like "but could you tell that I felt weird??"

    • @forestcochran4196
      @forestcochran4196 Před 2 lety +5

    • @callummahoney9908
      @callummahoney9908 Před 8 měsíci

      I’m trying to figure out to. I thought at first he was just using volume swelling from the knob on the guitar, but I don’t know if I see him doing that. Must be some weird pedal.
