GS: This one has a long history and predates even Paper Bag. It came out of my first experimentations with open tunings and was played in very fluid arrangements from around '82 or '83 up until getting together with Hyam in 2/88, at which point I finalized the sections so that someone other than me could follow them.
This piece was a staple for Cold Sky, but was dropped for Dog Neutral. It seemed a natural for the Jugalbandi setup though, so we brought it back. There remains a lot of room for improvisation, despite having quite a few identifiable sections- how we get to those in any given version is always open, and sometimes sections are even skipped. We did several takes during these sessions, the best two of which made it to disc.
HS: Although it's one of the longer pieces we play, "Under The Bridge" is also one of the more structured, consisting of several different motifs that have evolved over ten or so years. Occasionally things get wild and wooly (as they do here starting at around 6:00), but no matter how many different times we play it, "Under The Bridge" always manages to sound like itself.
