Really people? This seems a little phoned in compared to a lot of his other work.

Reminds me of "Big Time", with a more relaxed groove...

One of the few (only) PG album I don't own. This track is good though, might have to remedy this oversight.

I think 1998 - 1991 = 7, not 17.  But what do I know.  :)

I like this version.  PG did release (sort of) a version of this on an early release of Up, but apparently pulled it off the album because it didn't fit the theme.  Shelved for later release, it seems to have ended up on Big Blue Ball.

Love the bassline.
 
Another version (more similar to the Up one) was included on PG's Hit compilation and released as a single in yet another version (sounding like a cross between the Big Blue Ball and Hit versions). It's the BBB version though that I know from 'offline' alternative radio.

Beats the hell out of that crap he released recently with all the covers. And I'm a HUGE fan.

Love the baseline.

This album is the live captured recordings of a jam session they had in Real World studios some 18 years go. Some songs don't even feature Peter (though this one does). Not my favorite complilation but some of the other tracks are interesting.
  That's why I thought I was listening to an import or something I missed back in the early 90's
