Murph, it's been what? Like six years? And you're still getting kickbacks on that disc?

(Welcome, Smokey!)

I can't help it.
When showing off my speakers, I always save it for last because even as good as some of the other material I played was, everyone gets blown away again when this comes on.

I think the sound of unaccompanied guitars by themselves have something to do with it. People seem to be able to naturally appreciate stringed instrument sound quicker than many other types. At least that's my personal observation on both myself and others.

I agree Murph, though I have heard it sooo much that I haven't listened to it in a very long time. What are your favorite demo songs from this concert?

I always seem to start with "Stay or Leave'. It's near the beginning so it's easy to get to plus it starts with a very nice guitar intro and soft starting vocals that lets you concentrate on the sound os the strings. After that,I'm not sure. They are all good.

Yeah, that's a good one, but most of them are, as you said. Now that I think about it, I really like "Out of my Hands" as I love the way Tim blends the guitar so perfectly with the piano on the intro - simple but great sounding combo of those 2 instruments. The Maker is probably my personal favourite, just because I love the song. Although I've listened to it so much, I always pick out one point towards the end where they are discordant with each other briefly.
