You make it sound so peaceful.

Hate to call you on this one, Brucey, but AIUI, apart from the drums
and a little bass, _Hush_ isn't very overdubbed at all.   In fact,
AFAIR, a lot of the guitar tracks were one-takes.

Ric says he has over 3 hours of live tapes he looking at to pick out
stuff for the live disc.   Of course, I told him just to release it
all.
