Iron Will
Leave Me Alone, studio Leave Me Alone, studio
Catchy, edgy tune with some surprising changes.
Forest Of Flowers, studio Forest Of Flowers, studio
Kind of rollicking, jazzy feel, with a nice middle break. Many people's favourite.
It Don't Really Matter To Me, studio It Don't Really Matter To Me, studio
An ambitious piece, with pointed lyrics, major changes, and fairly difficult instrumentation. Our "epic" piece at the time.
Wicked World, rehearsal Wicked World, rehearsal
The classic Black Sabbath tune. Jimmy Condoluci played guitar, and Jim Mato was on bass, (a switch.)
Live Or Die ('82 rehearsal) Live Or Die ('82 rehearsal)
OK, bear with me; this is one of those old, slightly primitive rehearsal recordings (2 mics into a cassette deck... a few years or so after Edison.) The sound quality sure ain't polished, but the performances are. (--Song Info...)
Tornado Alley, (from a '90's session) Tornado Alley, (from a '90's session)
A high-energy instrumental. The 'intro' is almost two minutes long, then the real fun begins. From a 1993 rehearsal; acoustic & electronic drumkit.
It Don't Really Matter To Me, LIVE It Don't Really Matter To Me, LIVE
A LIVE version, with the "exotic" intro and an extended middle guitar part, where Mr. Mato pays tribute to Mr. Townshend.
All In Vain, rehearsal All In Vain, rehearsal
One that harkens back to the early days, though this version is a much more recent performance. The bass player on this is Ben Sandoval.
You and me, rehearsal You and me, rehearsal
Another one that harkens back to the early days, though this version is a much more recent performance. The bass player on this is Ben Sandoval, and there's some sloppiness from me.
Four Horsemen Four Horsemen
Like so much else, taken from Revelation. Like not much else, played as if we're in it.
Rapture-Waiting Rapture-Waiting
A thinking-person's consideration of their position in history.
To the Sea, (only attempt) To the Sea, (only attempt)
The first and ONLY time we did this, (yes, I winged it.) A live, direct-to-two-track recording. Guitar, drums & vocal only.
What Is Truth? What Is Truth?
The title/question (and quote) are from a famous historical figure, questioning an even more famous Person. It is what he might have thought that Sunday morning when everything changed. Unbelievably, miraculously, perfectly.
