LWS Monkey Man.

Wasted opportunity but thank God this leaked. We're lucky to have it. Always a good listen.

Roi's playing at the end. :upyours

LWS is some of Roi’s best work.

That Captain :upyours :upyours

I can't be the only one who went immediately to LWS Bartender when I heard Roi died... beautiful but devastating...

Yup, played it in the car the next morning on the way to work.....that's one time I'll never forget.

7/6/18

Slightly above average set for the tour, energetic performances. Pretty clear sounding stream.

2003: 6/26 & 6/27

Boyd's not great, but he's not as bad as I remember for these two shows. Granted, I'm only though the first few songs of N2, but still.

I wonder how much awesome work we’ll never hear from these guys. Knowing their taste in their own music.

I’m very thankful LWS leaked but I have to imagine there is some really cool stuff in the vault (and some garbage, too).

I like to think that when they're officially ready to hang it up and embark on a farewell tour, they'll release some old studio gems, at least as a one-time shot/money grab.

I think you’re giving them too much credit. Though I would love to hop on board with your optimism.

#34 studio version.

8/4; 8/5 and 8/6/2000

Might go through each year of the Gorge from here to now. :upyours

Speaking of, LeRoi plays a pretty nice 'somewhere over the rainbow' interpolation toward the end of Lover Lay Down on 8/4/00.

Its some of the most underrated music this band has played. I know its a leak so the masses haven't heard it, but damn Roi and that rawness is just pure bliss.

Cigarette Lit.

Damn, this is another really good one that we shouldn't have gotten but thank God we did. Excellent track. Love the Hold Me Down riff at the end, drives that one home. Makes me wonder if there are more fun tidbits from the Some Devil sessions...

:upyours

From any of the sessions. I'm sure there's so much that they laid to tape that didn't make it much further than literally that, just recording it.

I'm listening to 9/1/07 right now and I'm really enjoying this version of Two Step. LeRoi, Butch and Boyd are all doing a fantastic job and loud in the mix.
