Hi! The Argentine version of ATT (rest of the world track list) comes with a small magazine (just a few photographs). The "S" of "Sting" is golden. What colour is it in other versions of the rest of the world? Fabiana

VH1 special
by csloan 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Dear Everyone, I also submitted a tape to the VH1 special. I don't know if any of my tape will be used as I never heard back from them about it, but as I am in Switzerland now, with no access to VH1, I would appreciate it if someone would look for me on the show! Probably if they show any of me it would be of my Ghost in the Machine tattoo, which was the main reason they were interested in me I think. Ciao, Courtney

"Oysterhead much more than leftover Phish" Review from Boston Globe.
by Stingfan222＠aol.com 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Sorry I didn't post this when I said I was going to... By Steve Morse, Globe Staff. 11/11/01 Lowell-The Phish tribes descended on Tsongas Arena Saturday, looking to catch Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio's latest project, Oysterhead. It's a grass-roots "supergroup" with bassist Les Claypool (of Primus fame), and drummer Stewart Copeland (formerly of the Police). The talent speaks for itself, and despite a few rough spots, the music did not disappoint. Fans had to wait up to 45 minutes outside while dealing with the rigorous security checks, that are a sad fact of life since Sept. 11. But once inside, the sold-out, 7,000-plus crowd-the largest on Oysterhead's debut tour-heard a band that rocked harder than expected (definitely harder than its album, "The Grand Pecking Order") and suggested a bright future if they can keep it going. (Anastasio will release a solo album next year and tour next summer as a solo act, which would appear to put Oysterhead, and Phish, on hold.) Oysterhead has played some cover songs on tour (including The Who's "My Generation" and Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song"), but stuck solely to Oysterhead tunes in Lowell. However, they extended some with new jams and twists that put more fire in them, thanks especially to Copeland, whose presence has grown since the songs were recorded rather spontaneously in Anastasio's barn in Burlington, Vt. Copeland still has the difficult task of merging the two distinct styles of Anastasio's hippie-psychedelia and Claypool's eccentric, funk-bottom grooves-but he is now doing it with more authority. Copeland basically took the band and drove it like and express train, unleashing a rhythmic torrent that dwarfed almost anything he did in the Police. After composing artsy film scores in recent years, Copeland seemed ecstatic to be rocking again. This felt more like a true ensemble show, rather than the bits-and-pieces feel of the CD. The show started aggressively with "Pseudo Suicide" (with Zeppelin-like soloing by Anastasio) and "Owner of the World," which went from a John Lee Hooker boogie to a Dead-like jam. That was followed by the tongue-in cheek "Army's on Ecstasy" ("It's hard to kill the enemy on 'ol MDMA," Anastasio sang wryly) and Claypool's satirical "Grand Pecking Order." Some of the show got too cutesy ("Rubberneck Lions") but it was a solid, thumbs-up performance overall. "Oz is Ever Floating" paid homage to psychedelic researcher Dr. John C. Lilly, and "Wield the Spade" had Anastasio playing his custom guitar with antlers on it (he calls it "the Matterhorn") to trippy effect. And opening act Lake Trout played a set with a musical scope that mirrored Oysterhead's own adventurousness.

Oysterhead on Conan
by Rob Johnson 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Hey All, Did anyone happen to record the Oysterhead performance on Conan O'Brien the other night? I missed it unfortunately. If anyone could put it up on the web as an .avi or mpeg or wmf...whatever, that would really be cool for those of us who missed Stewart's performance. I don't expect anyone will do this, but just in case, thanks so much in advance! Rob

Soul Cages demos? huh? wha?
by Captken3＠aol.com 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Hi all - Delurking... Someone mentioned that there was a studio version of "Ain't No Sunshine" in a "Soul Cages" demo set. Can whoever posted this describe these? Sting's one of the few artists whom I rarely see have bootlegs of demos floating around. While we're on the subject, any traders out there? We just got a CD burner, and I need to christen it... thanks - Ken -

Oysterhead on Conan
by Malav Trivedi 16 Nov '01

Oysterhead was on Conan O'Brien last night and they rocked. They played "Oz is Ever Floating" and it was really awesome. They had the camera on Stewart alot, which is surprising because he is the drummer. He looked so happy the whole time. After they played, Conan came out and shook Trey and Les's hands. When he got to Stewart he said "It's amazing to meet you." I thought that was very appropriate.
