Z 20th Anniversary Wish List

[Nikkogino]

Less than 2 years until this album's anniversary and the inevitable re-release.  What songs/extras do you want included in the deluxe release?

[wheelhousetunes]

I'll start with the obvious: How Could I Know?, Chills, Where To Begin, and Same In Any Language.

After that, anything unreleased from that period.

HD Tracks, of course.

Same in any Language is a cover, right?  Great track though.

I really hope we get those obvious b-sides though.  In my opinion, HCIK and WTB are peak MMJ and top 5 Jacket songs.  Would absolutely love them on vinyl together.  Chills is obviously no slouch either.

Wonder if there are any unheard songs in demo form from the period.

There's plenty from that fruitful period!!!

I knew it was extremely likely, and it's by far the biggest reason I pulled the trigger on Red Rocks but i've been chasing Where To Begin for 10 years and 23 shows and it seems like i'll finally get it Friday night

The Devil's Peanut Butter...finally!

If they play it live at one of the upcoming shows, I'll be sad to miss it.

Awesome. Thanks!

[MMJTX]

Devil's Peanut Butter live would be so amazing

[kotchishm]

Devil's Peanut Butter finally sees the light of day! I preferred Churches, Banks, and Bars as the best of the 'lost' songs from this session but cool to get DPB. CBB was definitely more unfinished so I get it.

Where to Begin -> Chills -> How Could I Know -> Devil's Peanut Butter as a four song run of B-Sides? This band was absolutely cooking during Z recording

Took me 30 shows to finally get it at night 3 of One Big Holiday this year.

Well if we don't get it tonight or tomorrow then it looks like it'll be 30 for me hahaha

And there you go! Glad you finally got it.

[Lucius]

Looking forward to finally hearing the legend that is Devils Peanut Butter. Will be great to also finally have Oxen/Chills on streaming platforms.

Suddenly really enjoying Where to Begin also. A song I've never really paid that much attention to. I know it's a fan favourite but it never clicked with me, until now.

Is it October yet?!

Thank you Eric. I cried and loved every moment. And to top it off they go into Do It Again by steely f'ing Dan right after it!!!!!! What a show. They tore the place down again last night

I saw that! I'm a big Steely Dan fan and gotta say I was a bit bummed to not be there for it. Saw the YouTube video of it though and as usual they killed another cover.

Glad you got a great show and I'm sure tonight will be just as great. Enjoy

The Dan is of my favorite bands too. Heard the sound check and said what?! Jacket has this amazing ability to stay faithful to the song but still make it theirs.  Best cover band ever. lol

Really hoping for a Sabbath or Ozzie cover, as unlikely as that will be.  Think Fairies Wear Boots would fit them well. Or No More Tears.

Glad you finally got WTB MMJTX! I've been lucky to now see them do it four times.  Awesome show last night, too many highlights to single out, and the opener Melt killed it too.

[MMJTX]

Melt was great!

I feel like we'd have to get a Beach Boys cover
