Pullin’ ‘Tubes: The WhatElseBut? Edition

For this week’s installment we turn south once again, continuing the nonstop coverage of Langerado into which we’ve somehow fallen.

But, for us, the true beauty of the Interweb lies in the ability to live something in reality and then live it all over again online. And for alla’youse that didn’t get a chance to make it down there, we hope all this junk helps bring you at least a little closer to being there with us. Or makes you insanely jealous. Either way.

A spongeworthy YouTube user named mmanzella has posted some great clips from the festival, and most of them follow below. If you know me at all it’ll come as no clever surprise that I’m leading off with the nine-minute twofer of Faced with Love and Garden Part III from the Tea Leaf Green set on Friday afternoon. I’d prefer the monster Georgie P, but this is an incredible consolation. These guys already had me permanently hooked, but I think they made believers out of lotta people down at the ‘Rado. That makes me smile downstairs.

  • I’ve expressed my love for the My Morning Jacket set in unequivocal terms, and I’m thankful the organizers brought them down to play this year. This video of Wordless Chorus doesn’t quite display the aural sodomy they unleashed on the masses, but it’s pretty damn cool nonetheless
  • And for a look-in on the band that many people call MMJ Lite, here’s The Funeral from Band of Horses’ set on Sunday (the label is debatable, but you can definitely plan for both sides of the debate to state strong cases)
  • I chatted up one security dude by the media tent that was really impressed by Bela Fleck’s set — this tune goes out to him
  • The first sit-in of the festival provided the first “Niiiiice” moment of the festival. The too-much-bass factor messes with the mike a little bit, but here’s a cool video of Assembly of Dust with Victor Wooten
  • This clip doesn’t sound so hot, but that might just be the band. I’m obliged to post this version of First Tube that Trey closed the set with. One comment under the video is kinda ruthless: “what a waste guy just needs to give it up kinda hope he goes to jail and gets raped everyday”

We don’t wish rape on anybody ’round here. Diphtheria, though? All the time.

The B List: Searching for Deep Cover

YouTube is an incredible source for finding rare performances (I know, I know, we landed on the moon!). Last week I was fooling around looking for Police videos when I came across an amazing clip of Alanis Morrisette performing King of Pain. Her rendition blew me away — see a further description below — and sent me searching for other crazy covers on the video-sharing site. Seek and ye shall find.

Over the next two weeks, The B List will take a look at these unique cover versions of some of my favorite songs. We’ll kick it off this week with 10 incredible covers from truly unexpected sources, like Faith No More playing War Pigs, Ween tackling Motorhead and Death Cab for Cutie channeling Devo. Read on for 10 must-watch covers you can pass onto your cool friends…

Cactus & Wooten: Needs More Bass

Written by Ace Cowboy on 12.08.2006 | Cactus, Victor Wooten

Thanks to the headiest message board in town, the glorious PhantasyTour, we’ve got a great sample of Mike Gordon playing bass with Victor Wooten’s band on 12/5/06. “What’s his name? What’s his name? Mike Gordon, Mike Gordon.”

I kinda wish Victor and Mike had a more legit mutual masturbatory session up on stage, but this’ll do just fine for the beggars in this crowd…
