A version of the song from that tour was later released on the 2012 live acoustic album Free Magic with the following title: Ballade In C Minor, 'Vergessene Seelen'. The song was then subsequently played on the Fall '12 and Spring '13 acoustic tours in support of the album. 'Vergessene Seelen' translates to "Forgotten Souls", so I labeled this improvisation 'Vergessene Improv' -- the forgotten improv. From 3:50-6:45 of the track is kind of a lead-in to the 'Vergessene' melody which comes in strong at that point and is the main theme for the following 6min or so; + "Mystery Gus" melody first introduced just past the 9min mark and solidified @10:05 of this track, might be from a real song but the only other place I've identified the melody is during the band's 4 instrumental performances of the Combustication tune 'Whatever Happened to Gus' in early 1999 (1/14, 1/16, 3/20 & 3/23) -- see The Shack Project 1999 page for links to the shows: https://theshackproject.com/tsp1999/; ^ recording fades out/cuts at the end of this track leaving Set 2 incomplete | 97:45 | 26569 t t s |
