        Concurrence on these!  Though why wait until Watt is in town?
Actually, I think it's be interesting to hear a Deb version of this, with
Al backing vocals as counterpoint (as in so many Surgeon's tunes, and it
works well).  I can just hear Deb shrieking "Dominance!" and a low sinister
sounding "Sub-mission" from Al .... :)

        In fact, I think it'd make a good lead-in to "Sisters of the
Precious Blood"  I can hear wild guitar jamming from "D&S" simmering down
seemlessly into "Sisters" (I have *no* recollection whether these are in
the same key or not, but I'm sure a strategic selection of chord changes
in the segue could fix it :), then Sisters, and then boiling back up into
a reprise of "D&S" for the final call and response.

        Another possibility would be doing D&S up to just before the
"Times Square now ..." verse, then segue to "Sisters", then reprise into
"D&S" from "Times Square now ...".

        That would be great.  Wind up the crowd with D&S, rip into Sisters,
then blow 'em away with the D&S reprise.  BOC still plays D&S sometimes,
but not often enough, IMNSHO! :)  Great song, great live, especially I think
in a small venue.  You could really get great energy between the band and
crowd ...

Cheers,
Carl
