As Weir explains: ‘The basis of it is this guy I see at nearly every backstage door. There’s always some guy who’s taken a lot of dope and he’s really bug-eyed, and he’s having some kind of vision. He’s got a rave he’s got to deliver.’\n--\nProducer Keith Olsen brought in Tom Scott to perform a solo on the electric woodwind instrument known as a lyricon for this Terrapin Station version of “Estimated Prophet.”", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
