This is kind of “fly on the wall” stuff rather than overly organized content, but it’s worth a look, especially if you’re interested in seeing how these longer form tunes were constructed. This is obviously an informal look at the band, warts and all, so there is a fair degree of profanity being tossed about, for those who might be concerned about such things.
