This recording session was magical and it breaks my heart to listen to it now that SME took it over. It was originally posted by "OfficialDanielLanois" and the audio was excellent then. It's so muffled now it's like trying to view the Mona Lisa through a window smeared with grime. You can no longer hear the details in the guitar or the crispness of the drumming. It's as if a masterful work of art has been vandalized.

Insane... Very well recorded. Even more amazing is how they mic'ed the drum set with no tom mics, but instead they put the overheads closer to capture the cymbals and toms... Great song too. Plus the drummer was very musical in his playing.
