This is quite the rarity and was hard to track down. It's the first known performance of Crucifixion so it's quite the treat! A full two years before the album version on Pleasures of the Harbour. The way Phil talks about the song highly implies that he thinks it's an objective song, at least to me. For this reason, I doubt he wrote it straight after Kennedy's assassination, as many have believed.

I have a load of bootlegs and demos to release, they will be coming at a steady rate!
