Following the breath campaign up until I saw them in Jersey and then the second night at MSG knowing they hadn't played it yet was fucking amazing when Eddie said "fuck you we're gonna play it" the place went nuts!Thurman Murman wrote:Same here...and following along with excitement during the 98 tour as it got closer to the shows i was seeing.VinylGuy wrote:I think i read pretty much every entry in the concert chronology section.

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

He wrote a song about it 20 years later called AlrightStrat wrote: Love hearing Jeff talk about how he just bailed during the 93-96 period. he would retreat back to montana and not really talk to the guys as his way of dealing with it.

The band not calling Jeff for those three first days of sessions is one of the weirdest things they did.

Re: Ed and Jeff on Bill Simmons Thursday
Yea but perhaps jeff was the asshole? I found it interesting that he stated in this interview that him dealing with it during that period was by not talking to them and escaping to montana.VinylGuy wrote:The band not calling Jeff for those three first days of sessions is one of the weirdest things they did.

Re: Ed and Jeff on Bill Simmons Thursday
It seems from other stories than Jeff had a very big ego around that time. I remember the fight with Stone over the riff of Brother and him almost quitting over that.

Re: Ed and Jeff on Bill Simmons Thursday
If it’s the only time it has ever happened with the band, and Jeff says he was barely talking to the band to get some distance for himself, it was almost certainly his fault.
