I don't have screenshots from 10+ years ago but I'm pretty sure Perhaps was on there. Cuban Skies was the song that was most hyped up, Tonto got a decent amount of attention because Richard had a song on his site (or myspace or something?) with the same title, and I'm pretty sure Perhaps was mentioned but most people assumed it was 'perhaps also these songs...' and not an actual song title.

Yes, the orchestral part is probably mixed somewhere in the background for 4~ minutes, we agree on that. I've never heard the 7" Nov Rain and can't say what the quality is like, and different versions were pressed at different speeds. Apparently the more recent HS single with 2 live tracks (the Nightrain release) did have sound issues though and it was only 6.5 minutes of music. I really doubt The General is some 9 minute epic, and I doubt it has any parts of SOG, but we'll find out soon enough.

How was it clearly specifically made to be a concert intro? Seems a lot more likely that it was a stem that they used as an intro, rather than something made to be an intro. We've heard a solid couple minutes of The General even though the quality is garbage, and the song isn't going to be that long considering it's on a 7" record. It's not impossible that TG/SOG were combined at some point, but it's very unlikely.

Don't be ridiculous. Of course songs can change from section to section, but the 'intro' part we've heard is over 4 minutes long and it doesn't fit anywhere in SOG. The vocals and guitar melodies we've heard sound nothing alike. Maybe SOG was abandoned, we have no idea, but it's far more likely that they're different songs rather than SOG being so heavily restructured into The General. I don't think parts of The General are anywhere in the Village leaks, but I'd say there's a better chance it originated as Billionare than SOG. (It's not Billionare either, though.)

Mac Saturn announced their debut album comes out in January, I'm looking forward to it. They just released this single: I saw them open for Dirty Honey last year and they were good. They're opening for The Struts next month too, should be an awesome show.
-
Really looking forward to the Struts album. The acoustic version of the title track that they released months ago was great, and the studio version is great too. Can't wait to see them live in about a month

I kind of agree... Sweet Sounds Of Heaven is the standout track and Tell Me Straight is one of the best. I also really liked Dreamy Skies. I've never been a big fan of Watt's production and this isn't much different, but it's a solid album. I've listened to it twice and I'll listen a few more times over the weekend.

What did you think of the sound? I thought AIC sounded good but the mix for GNR was a bit inconsistent. Overall it was better than the 2017 show though. -
