Sunday Afternoon In The Park

“Sunday Afternoon In The Park” is the 8th track on Fair Warning.

Eddie used a cheap Electro-Harmonix Micro-Synthesizer to create this very unusual instrumental. This song has been described as a monster coming out of a swamp, and for good reason, with its heavily synthesizer-laded guitar and drum trade-offs, two minutes of auditory gore whose place is puzzling on the album though never disinteresting. The short bit leads to another half-song, the exiting “One Foot Out the Door“.

The song later became a part of Mike’s bass solo during the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge 1991-1992 tour.

  • BumBahDeeDah BumBahDeeDah ”Oh dear lord, please let him behave” Seriously, maybe Al wants the extra mouthpiece. He enjoys Dave talking and doesn’t seem to hate being cut off. Doesn’t matter, looking forward to this.
