Can't believe TDTH came out 25 years ago today.

What a shame they never put out a 25th anniversary edition. So many songs are just sitting on a hard drive somewhere, not being enjoyed by the fans.

I think it's probably my favourite Live album. That used to be Secret Samadhi, but I kind of appreciate this album being slightly more upbeat and trippy, but before they devolved into happy clappy nonsense. Who else would have put a harpsichord solo into a rock song at this point in time, audacious and brilliant. I'm not sure if it was a real harpsichord as that's not listed in the credits, but man it sounds cool.

The standard of writing across this album is very impressive, and Chad's guitar sounds great.

This album could have been a masterpiece, but unfortunately Ed decided to lob in a bunch of his own material which unfortunately diluted the CD.

Tracks I would replace:

Dance With You
They Stood Up For Love
The Dolphin's Cry
Sun
Sparkle
We Walk In The Dream
Voodoo Lady

The album is pretty close to a masterpiece as is. The Dolphins Cry and Voodoo Lady are top tier. vine Street is an incredible song that I think would’ve and could’ve been a great single for this album.
