Thanks. It was a lie, I stopped listening to pre-album live stuff after "Murray Street", but that seemed difficult to shoehorn in without steering off the topic of Ghosts & Flowers.

I just thought the batch of songs were really primitive, "lost our gear and gonna scrape some shit together" kinda things.. Thurston had drumsticks or metal files or bike horns under his strings on some tunes, which was reminiscent of that era (and the only old song they played was "She is Not Alone"). And there are moments in the "Renegade Princess" noise that (yes, likely enhanced by the cassette recorder) sound just as haunting as "Protect Me You" or the end of "She's in a Bad Mood". There were some other things that I remember sincerely linking to Confusion, but I don't know, I haven't heard that tape in a while...
