From the vault : Jesus Glue, Comeback tour '06. The breakdown on this perf still makes me feel like I'm going through a deadly roller-coaster.

Removed about a minute of it cause idk it's kinda long otherwise. I don't remember who recorded this.

So this crazy awesome thing surfaced (for real read the caption)

I'd always hoped this show would surface. I'd heard about the source for years but I guess the taper had never got around to transferring it.

This is the last show of their '03 UK run, a month short of doing that one acoustic set at the Apple Store. It includes a crazy setlist with the deep cuts (Trailer Park Jesus, Stuck Pig, Must've Run All Day, etc.) but above all, the only recorded performance of El Mark as a five-piece and as recorded in studio. Say what you want about their sound maturing and having better groove as a four-piece, I even mostly agree, but this is definitely the truest to the record.

Haven't heard the full thing yet but I recommend!

Edit : Yeah this a must listen lol. Awesome show front to back and one of their best from the Worship days. Great example why people miss the old GJ. Band is very on point and Daryl is sharp focused, throwing in some nice improvs here and there (the ahh ahh ahh on Must've Run are pretty cool). The Gillette monologue sounds pretty good. He even apologizes for the cancelations people kept bagging him on about for the two following decades (which is sad btw, how are you gonna apologize for having Crohn's).

TIL: John Larkin, the 90s superstar 'Scatman', was actually an amazing and overlooked jazz musician. Here's a live rendition of My Funny Valentine.

'Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence' live Brownies 2000 Remastered (see info)

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!
