Burnig Spear really is one of their most amazing songs. I saw them play it live at the Avalon Ballroom a couple of years ago in Boston. They opened the show with it. Goddamn, I've never seen such a wild display of kinetic energy from a single band. Thurston went absolutely nuts with his guitar. He started climbing the amplifiers by stage left and scraped his guitar strings against the fixtures. He climbed down and started rubbing the guitar all over his body in a very sexual display of power. Intimidating.
