One of my favorite song cycles of all-time. I’ll never forget being at Hartford as Trey, Mike and the Duo started playing this tune. People all around me thought I was nuts when I started jumping up and down, screaming with joy that these guys were playing one of my all-time favorites. Thanks for the post!

I didn’t catch a performance of Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey on the Mike & The Italians tour and was bummed. I always have considered this song to be the apex of Macca’s solo output.
