Said dome was conveniently located in Bryan's mom's backyard, where we could hear a neighbor hard at work with his chainsaw. And so can you, thanks to the magic of 4-track tape. Actually, you can hear the chain saw with only one track. Thanks to an Clapton live recording and another of the four tracks, you can hear our imaginary audience. The other two tracks were left free for the use of future generations. Here's the L-STD version of Railroad, originally from our first album, Noxious Effluvia. Since Mr. Clapton loaned us his audience, we framed this one as a tribute of sorts. It is to the original Railroad as his slow acoustic version was to the original Layla. If you choose to graph that relationship, the scale of awesome betwixt Railroad & Layla remains constant from version to version.
