So in my job as a teacher I’m trained to give “praise sandwiches.”
I’m not particularly good at it but let’s try it here.

First of all, you can’t help but admire and respect Guy for the sheer effort and the amount of work he put in. He must have been absolutely sick of that track by the time we heard it. Even if you don’t like his work-what a man! Seriously, what a man.

Much like some others here, I was disappointed by the initial minute snippet that we heard and the rest of the track didn’t change my mind particularly. I think the minute that was shared may just about have been the most “muddy” part of the track though imo.
I remember someone saying that we wouldn’t stand at the side of a track and shout “run faster” to the runners who are racing.
I can’t help but think that’s completely different. We are not saying to try any harder to the players!
They’re all amazing and at the top of their game. The reality is, them all playing over each other is inevitably going to sound over kill and “muddy.”
If I saw all the runners in the same lane and trying to push past each other without changing lane, then it might be a similar analogy.
I’m not criticising any of the players but them all playing together is just too much. The ending of the AMAZING Concert for Monserrat had an acceptable level of guitar players to make it sound awesome-too many more and it would have been overkill.
 
Regarding the ending, I’m amazed that it’s not IANTO. He went through a phase of trying to get the last beat of every song in during love shows which several on here thought was immature. Even though we know it’s not true, I still think it’s a slightly off ending to the song.

Having said all that, the video of Mark speaking to the patients was really moving and a much needed video to ground my thoughts on the song.
The cause is superb and the musicians very generous.
Well done to all involved on a worthwhile project.

Would love to decode who is playing by listening to it.

me too. I am impatient to see Guy's video with all names animated while the tune si playing

There is going to be such a thing? Can't wait!

Picked up my Vinyl copy today. Absolutely no problems getting it out of the wrapper. The etched 'B' side is beautiful....

After reading a couple of times, seems to talk about a little village that develops into something bigger, maybe industrial, but even it's changed what the village was remains in a way.

I remembered the words from the review by Gabriel David Barkin: ... stability in the face of change...

Telegraph Road suits that theme as well. I guess

To me the lyrics give me an echo instantly with the songs and the sound from All The Roadrunning.. very familiar theme... Precious Voice From Heaven comes to mind as well... hmmm...

What is the "lock bridge"?

Yeah, to me it just read like the metaphor of a musician who has been on the way up but is now heading the other way.
