It says improv so i don't think it's another bands material...not that i know of anyway..

but man....i'm really feeling this one..lyrics & awesome riff...find it and check it out!

shit has hit written all over it imo.

Yeah, I was there. It gave me goose bumps then, and it just gave me goosebumps again- almost 10 years later...

Thanks for the reminder

I was there too. I started listening to all the shows I've attended to get me even more excited after I got Seattle tickets, and I listened to this show a couple of weeks ago and was vividly reminded about the improv. It was great. I was 3rd row center, and I remember the guys on stage just settle down and started playing it. I remember Jeff specifically sitting and playing like he was playing a new song so he was focused on his bass. The whole crowd quieted down and listened intently.

Then of coarse the lyrics about finally getting close to home after such a long tour especially after all that had happened (rockskilde).

"turn the corner, coming home. I'm so sorry that I left you alone. please welcome me with open arms. I didn't want to go that far... that far... that far..."

"I'll be landing soon you know. I just might cry when I see the front door close... close... close..."

Just simply incredible.

I didn't think about it at the time. I was just trying to listen and take it in and I didn't think that hard about it especially since the show kept going. But when I first heard it on a bootleg a couple weeks later the greater meaning hit me.

Holy shit indeed! I couldn't believe it when I went and picked my tickets up when the 10c ticket window opened. They did block seating back then. Basically if your number was low enough for the first 2 rows you were in that block, and everybody else was in the other block, and I was 13th person in line for the second block so I got seats 25 and 26 (out of 50). Best seats I've ever had!
