Yeah it's a great live number, Phil 'n' Chester communicating by pure telepathy, the tune begging to be stretched out into the beyond. They shoulda released an extended 12inch mix.<br /><br />'Keyboard Power' - I'm intrigued!Brother Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377080939427971773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937610269075348689.post-37874796758078015462013-08-02T14:45:31.896-04:002013-08-02T14:45:31.896-04:00Great writeup on a great tune that been beguiling ...Great writeup on a great tune that been beguiling me for the past year after I heard it on a great comp called 'KEYBOARD POWER', which I should send you a copy of. <br /><br />"Phil cries out in protest but there's no reply at all."

Phil's drumming during the instrumental section is a perfect example of pushing the tempo with energy but not letting go of the pocket. I used to play to that and TSL's In The Cage so much that my father would come storming into my bedroom, "you're gonna drum right through the ceiling, Son!" My response? "Get me outta this cage!!!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447638248637892910noreply@blogger.com
