[@jonathancorreia6657]

Hi, do you have access to the alternate take of What About Me? The one where they count it off way too quickly and Larnell still ends up killing it. I have the memory of enjoying it so much, but I lost my copy of the DVD and can't find any recordings/videos of it online. Cheers!

[@voljes9007]

Thank you for this clarification! I was listening to the first two minutes and thinking "what?"

[@elliotthayes1176]

Its like stepping into the Snarky Puppy multi-verse

[@mrbraan]

Exactly… I don’t know what I expected but as soon as Corey started playing I was like “wait…… where are we?”

[@lsh3rd]

It's pretty interesting because we can very clearly see how the improved portions dovetail into the non-improved by comparing it to the track that hit the release.

[@spartanschoolofwrestling3434]

Ten years and then they drop this shit on us! I love it

[@jooei2810]

Larnell did not need a second take, the man is a machine.

[@brandonmoore737]

Wake up babe new Lingus just dropped

[@leonardolagassi2925]

It's kinda funny hearing this version and remember the other one in your head while they play. It's like being haunted by something you want to forget, but it's impossible to

[@NetDijk]

Same here!

[@abiolaowoseni3475]

@@NetDijk maaaaaaaaaan, that's exactly how I felt listening to the other take. It was literally playing in my head and all I was hearing was inversions.

[@dominikn19]

We’re all just waiting for him to drop those iconic chords…

[@herrbasan]

This actually establishes how special the take we all know is. It's amazing, but it doesn't make me sweat in complete capture as the other take does.

[@kundinga]

agree! it's curious how in this situation we're super into bias territory; we already heard the usual take and imprinted "the way it sounds" into our subconscious, so we're basically setting parameters on the expectations we are putting listening to it... "as a consequent version" of something we already stapled. btw, i totally understand what you saying and i feel captured from the usual take more than this one too! even the vibe troughout hits different (the arrangement is practically the same, even with the same "vibe choices" and little cherries here and there like some dragged measures or melodic ideas, bass doing the same fill etc etc), but this take is objectively less precise that the one we usually hear! especially in the end with horns kinda flaming notes and stuff haha I love to think how the "here and now" presented to all these musicians that had to coordinate on much more than simply notes and chords. And how then, as you say, some takes maybe become keepers of something REEEEALLY special and rare!! music is great.

[@ronaldvonk]

Same here!

[@lsh3rd]

The release take must have been like discovering kryptonite!

[@ceetybouncinII]

I never thought that I will experience Lingus for the first time again lol, that's just priceless! Cory did it again!!!

[@atomboyd]

Yeah! I felt this.

[@mustooch]

the mixing is so clean you could eat off of it.

[@benjaminwilkens9582]

Seriously the mix engineer is the real mvp here. I googled and i think his name is Nic Hard. Nic Hard goes hard.

[@ermitanyo777]

No, you cant eat off of it. Its THEEE main course meal, brutha, the food itself Hehehe

YEEEESSSS!!! It’s like you can breathe in the music it’s so clean!

@@benjaminwilkens9582 Actually this album was mixed by Eric Hartman... Absolutely legend and beast of an engineer. Unfortunately he passed back in 2015 :(

[@cseymour88]

Give me an excuse to listen to this song a few hundred more times.

[@ALBundy73]

Too much commercial song

[@didiercatz]

I can see why they went with the other take, but it's cool to hear such a different solo

[@amirsegal5715]

They dropped another Lingus before GTA 6

[@bambouclat6580]

"I clicked on this link expecting the usual stellar performance, but I couldn't even tell the difference until the solo kicked in. It's like entering a pipe and discovering a secret passage in Mario. Oh myyyyy. I'm going to listen to this a million times

[@danielalejandrofernandez180]

There is no difference for the first 4 minutes. Says so in the description.

[@andreasfrom582]

At first, I thought, WTF, this is the same as the released version, e.g., as the dueling sax/trumpet solos are almost identical to the official take, only realizing when Cory comes in and he has very different lead tones that this is really an alternate take. I clearly understand why the other version was chosen, but this version is not without merits. It almost becomes Terry Riley-esque in places and I will definitely listen again a few times.

[@Sangejzer]

read the description - first 4 minutes ARE the same

[@nico060797]

That said, there are still a few details that puzzle me. Firstly, the entire first part, up to the solo, is absolutely identical, in every way, to the version on the album. The slightest accent, the slightest note is similar, which is surprising, knowing that they play their pieces a lot in improvisation. Paradoxically, as a drummer myself, I noticed that at 4:07, you can hear Larnell Lewis playing a break on the snare drum, but on the video he doesn't play the same thing. So I think there is a mix between sound and video. But that's just a guess. Hoping that the message is well received, and that it is clear, I am French, my translation is perhaps not perfect. Cheers

[@oli77sch]

@@nico060797 again: the first four minutes (approx.) are the same take! There is a cut at the beginning of the solo part.

[@Eden_Rubin_Music]

I was in a Cory Henry MasterClass few years ago and literally asked him if he knew this solo gonna be THE MOMENT of his career. He answred a pretty weird answer saying: "There were 2 options, the one you know and another one I loved more. They decided at the end taking the one that the band were better in." Kinda wierd to me that he said that because this one is still great, but the solo they actually took is better to my opinion. But hey, you still need a super crazy chops to play such a solo, just that this one sounds like the sketch idea of the famous one.

[@incelwincel]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqfTkptjr7x5jtU

[@pievanian]

Same uploader put out a 'Night four, Set one' cut as well that's absolutely stellar, wonder if that's the solo he means?

[@yesloow]

Just judging by the clothing, it looks like the solo we all know off the album was done the same day at this one. I definitely feel the album cut is the one..so much more energy, the chord comping, the 4 bar trade offs with the horn section at the end...all better, in my opinion. I've seen the night four take one recording as well. Is there a night 1 and a night 2?

[@Eden_Rubin_Music]

This solo sounds like the sketch of the solo we know to my opinion

[@dasistgeheim1067]

Hang on, wait, what?! How many other takes are in existence?!?! We need them all and we need them now!!!

[@jesperhjland2205]

Still one of the best performances ever on KZbin by any artist or group. Outstanding musicianship!

[@Adrok23]

Drumming and trumpets and 7.50 for a min or two - sublime.

[@TableNetwork]

Just… thank you. If this had been the take the world would have been saying “this is just astounding”. The other one (the chosen one) just pushes at the last 0.5% of perfection that somehow leaves this behind. But this is in itself quite phenomenal. 🙏

[@ShovelChef]

Your pfp creates some kind of optical illusion as if it's spinning. ...I swear I'm not high. 😅

[@TableNetwork]

@@ShovelChef I wasn’t high when I designed it, but perhaps the many years of practice made it inevitable!

[@saulaac2971]

They should've named the track "Shaun's disbelief". They went with the other take because Shaun's disbelief was better on that one.

Great, a proof for the many-worlds interpretation! Both branches are out of this world, though!

[@KylerBooth-fm8df]

I like the section before the Cory Henry just pops off better in this version, but his solo, and after, is better in the official release. I also like the background to his solo better in this one, but this version still just isn't the same. And did anyone else see the Mario Pez dispenser at 6:41?

[@Sngln_hyeon]

One of my fav all time songs! Must observe though in this version that the video does not line up to the drum fill on the snare heard at 4:06. Maybe it was the percussionist? Still fantastic though! Corey is an ALIEN!

[@andreascorinth5005]

[@producer_of_juni]

WOWZERS

[@AtypicalIC]

Proof… Cory is actually ad-libbing his solos… The other brief solos were crafted and memorized.. Good, but it’s just another approach to come off the top each time

[@moses9647]

The first four minutes are directly from the original including the trading fours from the trumpet and sax. The alternate Cory Henry solo has been edited in.

[@AtypicalIC]

@@moses9647 thanks I’d love to hear their different takes too

[@AtypicalIC]

I just wanted to point that out because sometimes I’ll see video breaking down what Cory solos in a manner that suggests that he sits down and writes them with a bunch of theory choices happening. Theory can be the source of a great solo but often is just an explanation of why it sounds good.

[@liamburke1436]

Bummed that the trading solos were pretty much worked out in advance. Cory Henry’s solo being the exception :)

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

Not the case. The first four minutes of this video are in fact the same take as normal. It says so in the description.

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

It's the same first 4 minutes with Cory's alt take edited on.

If I'm being honest, I can understand why they used the other take for the 'official' release. Much better solo. This one felt more rambling and less inspired. Still a great song, and performance, but I prefer the other / official take.

[@user-ye3ui5nw3u]

That Cory Henry Solo? I played just like that last night then I woke up
