The usual joshing about by David and Reeves entails here, but it works very well, and made me laugh. Very good musical performances, and the inclusion of the soundcheck is unusual. It’s interested to hear that David liked going to churches, to look at the architecture (he was not alone in that but nice to hear nonetheless).
David and Reeves talking about learning Spanish is amusing too on this. He talks about William Burroughs, who had died in August that year, and refers to other writers he admired, such as James Joyce, and Beckett. He also explains why he rejected during MTV Unplugged – they wanted him to do just hits, he wanted to him to do it his way. The presenter says people do want to hear hits, “there are records for that”, Reeves pipes up. Interestingly to me, he answers a question about the Cygnet Committee, from the audience.
