"This is a song we filmed in this building, maybe two years ago...and the camera recorded a very special concert. But the star of the camera was not the band. The star of the camera was a guy called Greg Carroll. He used to just stand there. On this day last year, a few of us arrived in New Zealand, in Wanagnui. Greg Carroll was a member of the Maori tribe, and his tribe sent him off...forever. We were very proud to be guests at the burying of Greg Carroll this time last year, and we play this song for Greg Carroll this year..." Support is "In Tua Nua".
