I'm a younger fan that wasn't around when the Lillywhite Sessions was leaked, and I never got it and instead grew up listening to Everyday, Live at Folsom Field, etc. and on. I just downloaded the entire album, tagged each song, and put them in iTunes, and I listened through. All sound like demo tracks, but very deep, emotional cuts.
I've been listening to Monkey Man and tLTS Captain on repeat for the past few days. Amazing tracks. They need to play Monkey Man live.
The last Captain I heard live was in September of 2015 at its last show before being added to the liberation list. That show killed the song for me because they had Herbie Hancock guesting, and I'm not sure what was going on that night, but the show flow sucked when Captain came around (just no energy whatsoever). I have a ton of respect for Herbie's own work on Head Hunters etc., but he sounded so off playing on Captain. Not really sure where this is going, but basically, I was later inspired to listen to the song on Busted Stuff again where I picked it back up, and now having listened to it on tLWS, I see it as a quiet masterpiece live.
