Packend, treibend, pulsierend! Dann ein wunderbar kontrastierender Mittelteil, bevor es nach hinten raus wieder Funken sprüht - großer Track, einer der besten BXe, die ich kenne. Die Rhythmusgruppe hat vorher geübt! Edit: Jetzt sehe ich gerade im anderen (Nicht-)Thread, dass Phil da gar nicht gespielt hat...? Buhuuu, ich hätte ihn so gerne mal gelobt...
Du kannst ihn trotzdem loben, der war an dem Abend nach Aussagen von Besuchern
als 2. Percussionist mit von der Partie nach dem er sich heimlich und ungemerkt mit auf die Bühne gesellt hat.

Phil joined the band on stage for this show as a 2nd percussionist, playing along w/ Morris. Apparently Phil made his stage entrance somewhat disguised and with a broom, pretending to sweep the floor. He slowly meandered across the stage, without the crowd knowing who it was. The audience was laughing at the sight of this unknown guy sweeping the stage during a concert! That would have been great to see. (thanks for the info Mark)
There is a dramatic difference in the sound of the 2 shared songs between the tape and Livestock versions. First off, the tape's SQ leaves a lot to be desired and has Percy lower in the mix. That being said, listening to Livestock does not give you any idea of the percussion tour de force that is going on. For example, during Percy's bit during Virgen (2.15-3.15) the percussion is just relentless, whereas on Livestock it is barely noticable. To be fair, the percussion really dominates the sound and the producers were right to have toned it down a bit. Still, it is great to hear.
