This is a track from 03-02-01 at the BYRCC House in Louisville. I'm offering it up for download so that I can figure it out if this is a cover or an unreleased original. If it's a cover it needs to be on the comp, if not some of you completist out there may want this one anyway. Let me know if you know anythin about this track. Based on the setlist on From Nasheville to Kentucky I think the song is called Icream. Here it is:

Me and my girl have been trying to decipher Jim's mumbers for a couple of hours, now... all we can really pick out is "Do you want me to...." in the begining, and what sounds like, "...as the river runs!" or something like that...
Beats the hell out of me what this is, but I say it belongs on the disc, regardless of wether or not its a cover.
I can't place it either. It almost seems like an extended intro. What song came after this? Do you know?
Lil Billy was next. Icream opened the show and Lil Billy followed. But its kind of confusing, because I'm really only guessing that the song is called Icream. The setlist from that night starts with lil billy and ends with icream although my boot has icream(if that's what it's called) first and Twilight ending the show. Here's the setlist:

Maybe I need to dig a little deeper on this one. :-/
I know it is a bit of a stretch, but do you think this track could have anything to do with this line from What a Wonderful Man?
I WAS WANTING SOME "ICE CREAM." HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT.

Oh shit. I think you're wrong but you reminded me of something. During the show Jim is talking about how Tommy is going to be serving ice cream in the back after the show, so maybe "icream" at the end of the setlist was a reference to ice cream and not the weird song they opened with. Thanks, echoes. I had never put that together, just thought Jim was talking nonsense.
Well, we still haven't answered the question of the mystery track. But now we know it's probably not called icream.
What I've been trying to do is pick out 3 or 4 consecutive words, so that I can run a google search for the lyrics... Searching for Lyrics "Do you want me to" "as the river runs" at Google would most likely pull up the song, if its a cover.
The catch being, the lyrics have to be correct...
:-/
Thanks for that interesting track AMD!
haha, that pulled up some blog entry and two "adult" sites...we need more than those lyrics.

HAHA. I got the same result tom.
The adult sites were pretty far out there too.
Not that I'm saying I went to them. I had a friend go there. That's right, a friend. I never look at porn.
:o
I had an entirely different interpretation of Jim's mumbling. I hear " 'Seek more pleasure,' A line always spoke (at little billy)."
The part in parenthesis is questionable and I can't distinguish the end.
this reminds me of the extended dondante beginning jam from bonnaroo.
i couldnt decipher any werds, but it sure did sound like a cool song. i swear to god i dont think theres anything they can do that i wont like. music i mean. im sure they could kill someone i love and that would make me unhappy, but other than....
Yeah, thanks for posting that. I like the guitar sound, it remindes me of Tyrone and I Will Sing You Songs. I could go for an all instrumental record that sounded like this.......just real groovy vibes and some spacy guitar and keyboard. MMJ could make a really great movie score if they wanted to. After Bonnaroo though, I'm convinced the next record will be a concept rock opera...........the kind that can stand up to Tommy. The kind where it takes 18 semi trucks to unload all of the equipment that Jim feels is neccisarry to perform the Opera in the way it was intended to be seen and performed.
hey, I forgot to tell you all. It turns out that this track is an original jam based on a keyboard part that Danny Cash made up. It doesn't have a name as far as I know, just something that they were working on at the time.
