This next tune is one that i did write in Enid quite sometime ago (1973); and it was the first idea that i had to do a guitar solo. It’s quite raucous. It was kinda like sitting on the porch watching the tornado come our way into town so i call it “Silent Anticipations.”

And first he’d tune it into some special non-standard tuning, and then explode on the instrument like he’s been training in that tuning all his life. Melts my mind.

[@chrisdevine3511]

I love this version so much more than the sped up later versions . Plus it’s ‘82… it’s like 70’s-adjacent… the wood paneling- the flannel- just awesome

[@picasso79]

This is absolutely unbelievable how Michael played guitar.

[@zombielandakausa7468]

NO FUCKING DUH

[@user-ok7fg2xw6w]
