On 29 October 1981, at the group's second live performance ever, Southern Death Cult played Queen's Hall in Bradford, England.

Apparently, Astbury incorporated the lyrics of "The War Song" into the creation of "Spiritwalker" but no credit was given to the other members of Southern Death Cult and it is unknown whether they contributed to the writing of the original version.

The song, an acoustic version, was recorded for the David Jensen show on BBC Radio One and was engineered by Dale Griffin.

The song, along with the entire radio session, was later released on the compact disc collection of Death Cult recordings entitled Ghost Dance.

"Bone Bag" (often erroneously spelled "Bonebag") was later, in 1986, included on the first United Kingdom compact disc versions of the Dreamtime album (Beggars Banquet catalogue number BEGA 57CD) as a bonus track.
