My love for ATL is so overwhelming that I want to be buried with my
vinyl copy of it, yet...yes, the 5/29/98 soundboard recording is like
listening to a galaxy form.
Dirty's production is ace; the only song that suffers for it is "Wish
Fulfillment." I've heard Lee solo versions that get to the heart of what
that song is far better than the Vig/Wallace big wall o' crunch.
The drums sound so bad on Washing Machine--save "Diamond Sea" and
"No Queen Blues"--that I can never consider that a personal classic.
Which is sad, considering some of my favorite SY guitar work is on that
album.
