Whatever You Do, Take Care Of Your Shoes

It’s been a while since a new archive release (was it the Haiti relief of 2010?), but the band quietly announced the release of 7/31/99 with a release date of April 15.  Just like the Haiti relief, this release will see 100% of the proceeds to go relief in Japan, specifically Peace Winds America.

The set will include the entire two sets performed that day (as part of the Fuji Rock Festival), as well as the 7/29/99 “What’s The Use?” soundcheck as an added bonus.  Fans of the jams will be delighted to listen to set two, featuring an extended “2001 > Bowie” sequence to kick off the set.  For the “Caspian” haters, this is the “fuckerpants” version hailed as the exception to the norm.  Trey just owns the solo and takes the song into a new and incredible dimension.  The encore features friend of the band, Nawang Khechog lending his talent on a unique jam (also featuring Fish on vac) and “Brian And Robert.”
