Show Notes
- On the very first day of working on the band's debut album "Wake Me", the album's producer David Knauer recorded the band playing live in his studio. He recorded their performance straight to DAT tape and had Chester say the name of every song so it was on tape as well. The three Grey Daze demo tracks (Commit, "Come On" and "Here, Nearby") that were circulating for years are actually just a small part of his unedited live recording. David: "Then I made cassettes for myself and each band member from this digital master. We used these to listen to the songs for a week or so then got back together to talk about the songs and choose what goes on the album. The only copies out in the world were the 4 cassettes that each band member had".
- Unlike the way "Commit" was performed in Rally Kap Sports Bar a month prior to this show, part of its outro was not sped up during this performance.
- The version of "Morei Sky" performed during this session still had a slightly different solo and an extra chorus at the end of the song comparing to the final studio version appeared on "Wake Me".
- Before kicking into "Come On" , Chester mistakenly introduced it as "She Shines" , but then corrected himself.
- Shouting Out did not feature any female backing vocals during this performance.
- According to David, both "Holding You" and "Believe Me" were so new at the time, the band had to play them a few times to get them right live.
- A few of the lines on "Here, Nearby" were switched comparing to the final studio version appeared on "Wake Me".
- Unlike the way "She Shines" was performed in Rally Kap Sports Bar a month prior to this show, this time the song had a chorus melody that is identical to the one appeared on "Wake Me", but the song still featured a totally different structure with lesser number of choruses and, as a result, bigger emphasis on the line "So eager" which, at the song's climax, Chester sings 16 times in a row.
Other Notes
- Commit, "Come On" and "Painted" didn't make it to any of the band's CDs.
