Featuring some of the most remarkable guitar playing I've ever heard.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:05 pm

And some mighty organ playing.

Track 10 - After the Ball.

Macca does Amazing Grace.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:09 pm

It's a vocal tour de force. box

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:10 pm

How good would Tug of War have been if this band had been on it? rant

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:12 pm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:12 pm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:13 pm

Briefly pauses on a chord that I'm pretty sure is the same one that the Beatles' I Want You briefly pauses on.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:14 pm

Turns into an instrumental.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:15 pm

Is this tune pentatonic? There's something noticeably Eastern sounding about it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:16 pm

Track 12 - Love Awake.

The one that sounds like it could have been on a Gerry Rafferty album.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:16 pm

That is a beautifully arranged brass band. happy

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:17 pm
