My Yiddishe Boogie (Recorded 4/3/00- IL3)

GS: "(Featuring: 'My Bar Chord Mitzvah' and 'Dance of the Zaydehs'.) Alternate title: 'Ringling Bros., Barnum and Moskowitz'. The riff developed out of several improvisations and we decided to turn it into a song. The best version we did was lost when the DAT machine mysteriously shut off during recording. We immediately launched back into another version but I was in an absolutely foul mood over the loss when we did this. I said to Hyam, 'I'm seriously pissed off". He said in sympathy, 'Yeah', but it wasn't emphatic enough for me and I said 'No, I mean I'm really pissed off. I'm "it's right after the Holocaust and I'm ready to go kick ass and found the state of Israel" sort of pissed off. Ya know? Let's do it.' That state of mind is definitely apparent in this version. You can hear during the performance how each little glitch is reminding me of that perfect lost take, and in frustration the piece gets kicked just that much harder, with a really vengeful sort of hamfistedness infecting the playing. Rough but fun."

HS: "On the third day of these sessions we were plagued by recording gremlins, and when I looked at the DAT after we played the killer version of "Yiddishe" and saw that the 'record' light wasn't lit, my heart sank. By the time we did the version included on this CD, we were pissed and it shows in our playing. Clearly a case of using music to beat demons into submission. This may be the kind of thing Mahavishnu Orchestra would have done if John McLaughlin's name had been Goldberg instead of McLaughlin."
