My friend was playing this on acoustic guitar the other day. Amazing song.

Lee replied they weren't going tp play Cross The Breeze in Brussels, but he said "that Cross The Breeze will definitely be happening in Belgium in 2007." Meaning that they'll pick that song up again, and will probably be performing in Belgium again next year !!!

Cross the Breeze in Pittsburgh summer 2007 would make me cream myself.

When I saw them last summer they did Silver Rocket, Candle, and Eric's Trip. So, it seems they are getting into DDN gear.

I love 'Cross the Breeze- the way the rhythm section just pounds being really lead by Steve's drum beats.

is that why she sings the line 'she knows how to make love to me', starting an appealing trend of lesbianism in her songs, which repeated itself recently with 'Reena'.
(lesbianism is defintely a word)

wait, wait, wait, there are people who don't like the sprawl? how? i mean, how? the 2nd half is quite possibly the most ethereal, nebulous, otherworldly sound they've ever done.
