Should have been on "Respect." It was originally released as the b-side to "The Yip! Song," along with "Bright Fresh Flower," which is also stunning. And there it's "Live-in," and yes, a different (and better) recording from the one on the box set. I've always thought the b-sides from "Respect" were as good as the rest of the album. Add those two, along with the original "All Right Yeah" with the Egyptians from the single of "Driving Aloud," and a great album is even better.

The first time I went to Australia, a cyclone hit. We got two days of the heaviest rain I've ever seen in Cairns, then another day of rain in Port Douglas. The soil was waterlogged, the winds were really picking up, and we started seeing landslides on the sides of the highway. The highway back down the coast got wiped out, so we got evacuated out of Port Douglas on the boat that was supposed to take us to the Great Barrier Reef, and flew back down to Sydney from Cairns. It was raining heavily in Sydney, but was much less stormy. I finally bought/used an umbrella for the first time in my life. This was all after a really nice week in New Zealand--no weather problems, beautiful landscapes, no enormous spiders, and I got to meet up with my internet friend J. Dignan for the first time. The canceled diving trip was a huge let down--it was the main thing I wanted to do on the trip. I had always dreamed of going there. It was part of the list of of places I wanted to go during my life time (along with the Great Wall, Stonehenge, Easter Island, Antarctica, the pyramids, the Galapagos, Chichen Itza, the Hawaiian volcanoes, and Machu Picchu). I did go back to Australia and dive a few years later, and am now half way through my list.

Just noticed something odd about RH's song "The leopard" - the fade in and fade out are identical, so it's like a slice of a larger song or something circular that retuirns to its start. There are probably tons of songs like that, but for the life of me I'm having trouble thinking of many...
