mark in a check shirt? never seen before. also, he seems to have so much fun on that one.  confirms to me once again that 96 was THE tour.

That sounds so much better with the Strat though.

Just to confuse matters more he playing Going Home on a strat in 96 for the Jools Holland show didn't he?!

Cannibals is another clearly inappropriate song he played the LP on in 96. But he was clearly in love with the sound and that came through in his playing and his enthusiasm. Always thought 96 was the best tour.

The thing is you can play clean with a LP too but Mark didn't - at least not in this particular song. In my opinion the use of overdrive ruins the ambience and the flavor of the guitar strumming on this one, especially those beautiful double notes. I don't know, the Strat just sounds better to me.
