I've heard Mike play the same riff twice, but I've never seen anyone cite the song its from.

In Atlanta '94, it comes at the end of WMA right after Ed says "tomorrow morning, look in your history book..."

the melody of the riff compliments Ed's sentiment, and I feel like the two are part and parcel. i figured it was just a live moment of accidental brilliance.

well, i'm listening to Milan 2000 and during Even Flow around 3:55, Mike plays the same riff, but it's extended out for several measures.

it's such a minute thing, but my curiosity is really piqued now.

any help from the board in identifying the original song this is an allusion to OR if it's original Mike-- thanks!

If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was an ode to "The End", bit my guess is that it's just Mike.

i wouldnt think anything of it, i hardly even hear a riff of any prominence.

see, i think it is related for two reasons:

1) mike does the guitar "rake" thing with the delay right before in BOTH shows

2) the riff in WMA is only played through one time, but if you listen to it, it is clearly defined and it and variations of it come up in Milan (and it's actually better to tune in during Even Flow around 3:45)

I could be totally mistaken, but it just sounds too familiar, and 6 years apart makes me think its from something else.

what is "the end" ?

the doors

I once read a short story in a creative writing class about a guy who eats chicken fried steak and then goes home and has the worst diarrhea ever.

The story was entitled "A Horrible Consequence of The Doors"

It was a good story. Not a big fan of the band, but I'd be curious to hear said song, so I can hear for myself any similarities

Not sure where that name came from.

If you can direct me to a copy of the Milan Even Flow, I'll have another lsiten for you.

Yeah, I just had a listen and I really can't tell you. Sorry.

i just gave it a listen and it didnt seem the same to me.

the wma one seems like it is more likely to be a riff from some other song, whereas the even flow one was probably just mike noodling.

isn't april 3rd (Atlanta Show) the day that Martin Luther King died...???

Im normally REALLY good at these sorts of things...
and well... I dont hear anyting in WMA that sounds like anything else?

And im even a big doors fan... I dont hear "The End" at all???

thats "The End" for anyone not familiar with it...
its actually the Apocalypse Now version to it... so yeah... theres other live versions of it on youtube.

It was April 4th.

"Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride"

Thats from 'Pride (in the name of love)' Most of my friends didnt know what that line was talking about till i pointed it out

Youkan

not that Bono is the best source to rely on ... it actually happened in late evening, not early morning

Hey, I'm probably the biggest Doors fan on here and it was the only song that came to mind that sounded remotely similar (I was listening to Atlanta 94, Milan 00 sounds like nothing to me). That's why I really just think it's Mike noodling.

hahaha
stupid me, listened to Milan 06 hahaha
ill have to go back later tonight and listen to milan 2000...

but yeah, at the end of WMA just sounds like... guitar noise. not enough of something to say its something?

Its not like when Mike tosses in Voodoo Child into Porch, or 3rd Stone from the Sun into Even Flow.


But sometimes it is just really up to the listener...
Ive got a version of RITFW (not sure on a date, but im pretty sure it was the 03 tour) where at the very end / outro... it sounds like someone is playing Prince's intro to "Lets Go Crazy"

This scares me...I almost put the same lyrics in....nice work Jason.

yeah, I thought it was probably nothing. i mean, I guess for the number of hours mike has played live, he's bound to do certain things which sound similar and it's purely coincidental.

Or It could be that you appear to be a Cubs fan...

GO BREWERS GO!!!!!
