The very first live experiment of Mr.Fastfinger's Exploding band!!! The band + Mr.Fastfinger performed at Magnusborg Studios, Porvoo, Finland 15.4. for a small (but very special) audience of our friends. It's always challenging to perform Exploding Solo (but fun). Not quite perfect yet, but it's getting better all the time. Maybe you noticed that the drums arrangement was kind of inspired by the intro of Iron Maiden's Aces High. BUUUM - PADA! Mika Tyyskä - Guitar, Lasse Rantanen - Bass, Thomas, Kalle Katz - Keyboards, Törnroos - Drums. Asa Nyman - Live audio, Riku Makkonen - lights. Camera action by Raimo Uunila and Vesa Eloranta. Audio was captured by two microphones.

It was very, very cool to do this track with the band. There's an extended middle part with that magical touch wah tone. Waa-Waa. You might hear some Zappa notes there too. Yes indeed there are mistakes there and there. But I hope you don't mind, that's what happens when you play live. The guys did a super great job with only one reheasals session the previous night.

Humble Moves. This may sound a bit different than the album version. But that's the idea! Enjoy the gentle and humble music. The very first live experiment of Mr.Fastfinger band.
