The Car
“There’d Better Be a Mirrorball” opens The Car, and it’s also a good way into the period around it. The strings are all over the record, but give “Body Paint” a listen live to hear what happens when the band stretches it out. The sleeve started with a photograph Matt Helders had already taken. The Kings Theatre footage and the 2023 shows pick up the story from there.
