How reliable can this be? The man doesn’t remember what album Daughter is on but he knows precisely when he came up with this long-forgotten riff?

He was specific and said it twice.

Didnt he previously say he wrote this with Watt?

"3rd encore" is a bit of an anachronism

It’s pretty much the same riff as in hiding

he previously said he wrote it in its final form with Watt (big difference), combining a riff he already had with something Watt had; he also reinforced this part in the interview

The end with Ed and a Jeff is great. The opened and unopened letters is cool


I feel like Jeff is the glue that holds the band together. He is very passionate about the group and their legacy.

I see where you’re going. Played very differently though. The WFS riff comes back around full circle. The intro/chorus of IH is reminiscent….

I definitely teared up at the end as Jeff and Ed talked about letters and hugged--"thanks for believing..."

I wish this interview SVT-type video was another hour longer.
