i knew that something VERY different was happening/round the corner when i saw.....

"ballad of dorothy parker" live on leno..new jazzy arrangement.....

little did i suspect what musical treats lay ahead

ahh the ONA era.the massive boxed set popping thru the door,the soundchecks,the front row seats,the aftershows,the fucking brilliance of it all!!

its like the hardcore were being rewarded for sticking through thick and thin wink

erm..thought id just share that biggrin

Yes, that version was cool, but not really new. It reminded me a lot of the 1987 rehearsal version. There´s this "recording" called Now´s the time...and that song is on it.

Actually, Now's The Time is a bootleg of rehearsals for the '87 SOTT tour and yeah that version of Ballad of Dorothy Parker is kind of similar.

It's more than "kind of similar".

Anyway, I think jony was righht on! The ONE tour and its aftershows and soundchecks were something quite special. I hope he does it again.
