Falling off the Roof
 
What's everyone's thought on this tune? Should they have run with it? It's a good melody and has so much potential. I think it may end up on the next Dave solo album. What other songs might end up on there?

Definitely deserved more love than just one play - it's an interesting piece of songwriting. I am glad it got released on DMB25.

There used to be a snippet of the studio version and it sounded great

I listened to a studio version multiple times 10+ Years ago. Dave was in Philly visiting family and dropped by a studio owned by people he’s recorded with in the past. He recorded several ideas, one of them being FotR, and they were just cataloged by the studio. After a year or two my buddy, who was a sound engineer, downloaded the songs to a disk. It was roughly 15 minutes of material and they were rough cuts. FotR gave off the same vibes as The Fly, even with a little piano jam mid song. I liked it.

Wasn't the song recorded with Herbie Hancock and renamed jackpot? Is that the version that you heard? I've been trying to find that for years.

There is a 52 second long clip out there of the recording done at MilkBoy the Studio in Philadelphia. It was on their website for years. Unfortunately the whole recording never leaked. If I remember, someone who had connections to the studio was trying to get the whole thing, but that never materialized.

I remember the video promo for Herbie’s Imagine Project with Dave, Carter and Herbie in the studio recording FOTR. I was excited to hear it, but it was cut from the album and that promo was edited to remove that part...wish I had that track or even that promo video.

How has the full thing not leaked by now? I really wanna hear the full studio version. That preview gives me Drive Me Away vibes.

I just texted my buddy who worked at Milk Boy (he’s long since left the studio and is actually a mildly successful touring musician these days). He is looking for a copy of the audio and will let me know.

Sweet! Fingers crossed. Thanks.

Coolsville. Nice demo, but the jury is still out for me.

I'm not loving this tune. Maybe I need to hear the whole thing.

Heard this at my first show ever in 07. Wasn't impressed then or now. Whenever it comes up on my shuffle, I generally skip it. :(

Texted my friend and he believes the CD is at his parents house, which he doesn’t plan on visiting anytime soon. Remember, what I heard is a demo, but it’s the song in its entirety with bass, light percussions and keys.

I really want to hear this. That would be great if it ever got on here.

does nothing for me... cant believe it made the box release, SO many other songs that people have actually heard and at least heard of

Pretty much... welcome to 2020!

I've always loved this song. Would be so jazzed to hear a finished version! And would love to have this back in the live rotation as an E1.

Re: Falling off the Roof
 
literally one of my favorite dave songs

the emotion in it, the dark tone, the guitar part, it's beautiful

It’s not going to happen. My friend’s father passed 7 years ago and he hasn’t gone back often sense. I’m not putting any pressure on him to rummage around his basement for a CD.

None the less, I’ve heard it and it’s real.

For sure, I gotcha. Thanks for the update.
