brilliant cover guys! dig this immense!
well, if we don't have Neil, Tim and the rest of the enz at mo then definitely Todd, Mike and Peter will most certainly do, great cover guys – what a time when these guys ruled the airwaves – saw them live three times in six months (’84) when they announced they were breaking up (Paul Hester playing drums, the best!)
so good, man this really captures the emotion Neil infuses into his writing and performing - if Neil takes Lindsey's place again you guys can take Neil's for sure! Awesome!
Brilliant cover, so good! damn covid and every other insidious thing (political or otherwise) that hurts the AUS live music scene, or diminishes it - Great work fellas! Love this track!
