He played The Boxer right to the very end, which is important.

That's 5 minutes of your life you'll never get back...

It does go on a bit .S&G reckoned it the best track on the album so it's ok by me.

The bloody "lie la lie" outro must take up half the flippin' song. My big bro loved BOTW so I suffered a lot as a youth. On first hearing The Boxer I thought the needle had stuck in a groove, bit like Hot Love by T-Rex...

It's one of the greatest songs ever written.

I think It's supposed to be about Bob Dylan and all the hate he got after he went electric. I read some where ,perhaps ???

No, that was bollocks.
The "lie" thing was supposed to be about Dylan's denial of his Jewish roots, but Paul Simon said "Huh?"

It can't have been Steve Shite as the DJ then.

No, he talks over the end of every record.
I'm sure it's done on purpose

I haven't listened to him for years but quite often people would include Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Freebird' when choosing their choice of records to play at 3pm and he would always cut into the geetar solo that's one of the best in the business. Bastard.

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd at Knebworth in '76, they ended the set with a mind numbingly long rendition of Freebird. I believe they are still playing it as I type...

Hey man, like, if you remember Knebworth then you weren't really there man.

I do remember that I thought The Stones were, well, just a bit shit....
