Re: Brian and Derick's comments on "Who Are You" (Gateway Mix):

My tuppence worth: I think it's excellent. Nearly cutting-edge, yet with 
sufficient familiarity to make it warm. Great "feel" to it - sort of angry, 
fiery but controlled.

Oh - and I LOVE the complete live version too.

I was at that show, and when Hame arrived on stage to rap during WAY, a 
well-nourished bloke to my right HOWLED at Pete "Who Are You is NOT a rap 
song".
I remember thinking to myself it was a bit like a small-scale version of the 
moment when the heckler in the audience shouted "Judas" at Bob Dylan as he 
started his electric set back in '66. (The so-called 'Royal Albert Hall' gig 
that really took place in Manchester's Free Trade Hall).

I also thought the bloke was a berk - because this was a Pete gig, he wrote 
the bloody thing, and if he wanted to de-construct the song, then he had 
every right. And also because it was an absolutely cracking version, and if 
our amply-proportioned friend had only been able to take the clogging wax of 
years of orthodoxy from his ears, he might have heard the sound of PT being 
part of the creative process again.

Just my thoughts.
