Back in the GJN days this audio was circulating a bit. I always liked that performance and I thought I would try to give it a redo.

Don't expect anything crazy, this is an audience recording, from near a stack of amps if I had to guess. But I guess that's an improvement from a cheap recording to a cheap recording with some kind of mix and post-prod, and where you can hear Daryl better. Was gonna take the vocals down a notch but I'd spent some time on this so by that point I thought what the hell, I'll just throw it out. Overall I tried to give it the feel of the album, with how practically impossible that was lol.

What's really cool about this recording is you can hear Daryl using the audio track of the backing vocals and I believe multi-vocals at one or two points, like he did on their last record. I didn't know they did this back then, especially for this song.

Hope you enjoy!

I'd wondered a couple times what happened to the guy lol

With the recent GJ "with or without Todd" there's been, I thought it'd be interesting to look at how they sounded the first time they performed Ape dos mil without him back in 2005 vs their show last weekend.

What do we think? Did they get better? Would you still prefer to hear them with a second guitarist?
