Banter
- Peter: Brandon, can I get some more guitar?
[various bass and guitar noises]
Peter: Maybe more of everything.
JD: Man, I missed that one note in the end there. And, I mean, obviously, I should take full responsiblity.
Peter: Own that missed note.
JD: But. There's this piece of red tape there, that red piece of tape is there for the bridge of Amy, Spent Gladiator 1 song, because that thing is played with a capo, and its bridge is a little atypical, and I'd keep missing and not know where to go, so I put a little piece of tape there, or probably somebody put it there for me, so that I would stop doing that. But then the red tape is like a beacon in the night, and so whatever else you're trying to do, when you play, the red tape's like, check out that fret. It looks pretty juicy right there. That's probably where the action is at, the red one. Go for the red one. And it's usually not the right one, because it's a C# if there's no capo on, that's not the right one. So, no, it's an Eb, even worse. I'm trying to put this off 'cause I got this idea to put this second in the set list, and I don't think we've played this song in something like five years. [much cheering] (Linda Blair Was Born Innocent)
- [tuning] If you ever feel guilty about the time you feel tuning and feel like people sort of get restless and stuff, I advise you to do as I have done and get really into the Grateful Dead. Because those guys will tune for 20 minutes between songs, and they're nowhere near the note, and you can hear that none of them actually have a tuner, they're just sorta, they know where the note is, they have a good pitch, and they're taking their time at it and saying cantankerous things to the audience between. You think, well, I may be awkward but not as meanspirited as those guys when they're tuning.
