Nice.

I love the way Joe rhymes "mafia" with "get 'em out on yer."
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Let's see hear...

I love everything about Joe's voice in Revolution Rock, especially how emotional it (his voice) sounds when he says " 'nd they're dancing to the brand new beat! " That crack in his voice when he says beat. The warmth you get outta the "oooh la la"'s (after Joe says "oooh la oooh la oooh la oohla!") humming low in the background, if you sing along.

I love the way Mick rhymes "Go on a nickin' spree. 'It the wrong guy. Each of get threeeeeeee ...years in Brixton" with "When you lot get out. We're gonna hit the town. We'll burn it fuckin' doowwwnnn ... to a cinder", the structure of the way the song itself is written, the "aaaaaaah aaaaah!" and that fucking guitar solo, in Stay Free.

I love how if you listen closely to Remote Control during the "REEEPRESSIONNN!!" part, you hear Mick fiddling out tiny guitar riffs, adding to the greatness and boldness you get outta that "REPRESSION!"

"I'm not dooooowwwnnn oww oooww owwn! ...I'm Not Down"

How they shout "Murdah!" when playing SGM live.

Also for the Doctor Who fans out there the mention of "Gonna be a Dalek" in Remote Control is cool.

It came on a shuffle, but Overpowered by Funk is a step above Red Angel Dragnet which still makes it very awful.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
