Golden Age is a great song, and they're even doing it live nowadays.
Godzilla started out as a great song, just got done to death, I'm
afraid.  I Love the Night, Nosferatu fine songs too...

The Vigil--which they've done live a couple times within the last
few years as well.  Otherwise, Mirrors ain't one of my faves...

Oh, man, speaking of brain fades!  Someone had a big one when they
recorded that tune.  I came to hate that song even more when they
used it for an opener in place of Stairway.  Though I came to resent
R.U. Ready for the same reason, even though it's a good song, it
wasn't worth bumping Stairway as opener.  Curiously, I didn't mind
BFY as an opener, as it meant I didn't have to endure it as part of
the Big 3 segment of the show, and the group counterbalanced it by
putting some great stuff into the show[c.f. Golden Age, Astronomy,
etc.]


 "The Great Sun Jester" is also
