...work (Hitchcock describes the show as "a resum of what I've done in music.") but it was the man's intermittent rant that was most fascinating. Interrupted occasionally by the entrance of other band members, he told of a higher plane of existence that is like a rock club, a dark place full of "the smells and spirits of the wreckage of the past, with things glowing off in the distance...
