That video fucking rocks-sorry for stating the obvious!!! BOTTOMS UP!!!!

It seems to be the same. I'll have to fire up iTunes (while I write my articles) and listen, but I think it is.
I am in the process of sending a video of almost the entire song to Va, but it's taking forever to upload it into the email (I'm also sending a bunch of pics, which are also taking a long time to upload). In the meantime, I made a *private* link on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4pJ8ZVxZus Please don't post this elsewhere or pass it around too much. Thanks!

Also, a bit of trivia: In the promo video for the tour (the one which shows the band in a new video, but plays clips of "1984" hits), the woman with the camera is Dana, their official photographer. I stood right next to her (directly in front of the stage) the entire time. Incredibly sweet, fun, great sense of humor. I met someone else who works for/with them, and I have to say that they surround themselves with awesome people.

THAT WAS AWESOME! Thanks for sharing such amazing footage - looks like you were literally 1 foot away from Dave. Unbelievable.
It's the same song from the '77 demos - but it has been reworked a bit.

The thing that really stood out for me was Wolf's bass playing - he's clearly driving that song and sounds light years ahead of where he was as a bassist in 2007.

This kid has been on the receiving end of a lot of harsh criticism since '07, and it looks like he's going to shut some mouths during this upcoming tour.
When was the last time bass was featured prominently on a VH song?

Thanks again, GreenEyedMurder - much appreciated!

VERY COOL video. Thanks GreenEyedMurder! I gotta say Wolfie's bass playing is pretty strong on this.

I have the largest Dave Grin I've ever had right now.So happy this song will be on the album, thank you GEM, glad you had a great night!

That clip alone has my approval of Wolfie, and I'm a Mike fan.

You can actually hear him!! AND IT'S GOOD!!!! These 4 years have been a blessing in disguise.

We now know there will be at least one great song on the album

*of course there will be more to follow I'm sure*

I don't think I can sleep tonight.....

Well, now there's proof that Wolfie is a damn fine bass player. If anyone remembers all the comments flying around during the last tour........ you get what I'm saying. Great vid. I hope there's more.

[Romeo Delight]

Wolfie's really thumping that bass with authority! .

I think we can stop worrying about him. He was incredible

[Julius]

Thank You.
