Episode 32: Las Vegas - 7/6/06 - a podcast by Randy Sobel & John Farrar

It's not a stretch to say that when you think of Vegas, usually the first thing that comes to mind is gambling. Funny enough, gambling would be a major theme of this night back in 2006. Branden Palomo from the Better Band Podcast joins us as our guest to help us relive this one.

The first major gamble of the night came right away opening out the show with emotional cut Inside Job. It was a risk the band hadn't taken with the song up until that point, and although it paid off, we discussed how much it affected the feel of the early set.

Another gamble here? Well, you'll have to listen to this unique version of Garden that around the ranks has been labeled "Sound Garden". We describe it as Beethoven meets Phantom of the Opera and it's something that you certainly wouldn't hear in a version nowadays.

The biggest gamble of the night however (outside of a jacket that Eddie donned while covering Elvis' Little Sister) was Eddie taking a gamble on his voice which he claimed was stifling him on multiple occasions. You'll be able to tell at times that Ed is having some difficulties, but only if you're listening for it. It was a situation where if he had not complained about it or made fewer mentions than he did, you would never have known he was having an off night. We stressed this fact throughout the entire episode.
