"Believe Me" was especially great live--a real crowd pleaser its seemed, and--from the live versions I've heard--much better than the album version.

GLYUB is a classic. They shoudla' kept it around longer.

I love World Turning. It gets me pumped - I actually added it to my workout playlist.

I think I'm one of the few who did like Mick's solo in this song. Not the band's finest hour but enough cool. Of the 3 concerts I've been to, the only time I skipped a song to go to the bathroom or for a drink, was during Go Insane in 1997.

As someone who dabbles with the drums, I'm more receptive than most when it comes to extended instrumental passages. "World Turning" works well both as a studio cut and a vehicle for Mick's percussion solos. I'm aware that the drum vest portions of the solo are often dismissed out of hand, but it does make for compelling performance art.

In 2014 Mick told he didn't use the vest anymore, cause it kind of hurt, it felt like it was burning. Probably it hurted more since he was sober, I don't know.

The Say You Will Tour was the last time he used the vest to my understanding. He even retired the talking drum portion of the solo for several tours before reviving it in 2018.

He did a drum solo in the Unleashed 2009 tour. But I don't remember if it was with his classic drums or this small drums kit in the picture.

But I'm sure he played a solo, because while he was doing it, Lindsey sat on the floor right in front of me, very close, and laughed as he watched Mick enjoying himself while he played.
