This is a tune from Washing Machine. There’s a really incredible outline for a Washing Machine box that I hope we can get going at some point. That touring cycle [in 1995] was really long and there were so many odd things that happened. We went to Memphis and recorded this thing — there are early demos of everything. And before the album’s even released, we opened for R.E.M. Then, we did Lollapalooza and the record’s still not out. So, then the record comes out and we do our own US and European tours and then we go to Australia and Asia with the Beastie Boys and the Foo Fighters. There’s just a lot of great stuff. There’s that Rockpalast concert in Germany that has one of the craziest, best versions of “Diamond Sea.” Lee wanted to do something with “The Diamond Sea” where he would do a mix of multiple performances that could be great. So, there’s a lot of options. Fingers crossed that we get to do it.

I loved this article! I always enjoy hearing the band discuss the songs themselves and there were some really exciting details in here.

Very interesting that the final Williamsburg setlist was Steve's pick - some of the choices on there (all the Bad Moon stuff, Kotton Krown w/ both T&K singing, Psychic Hearts) have fascinated me for the past decade.
I always assumed they knew beforehand that was going to be the last North American show, but Steve says not?

At the time someone said they just wanted to do a special set for NYC as it had been a while since they'd done a proper show there.

I still can't listen to it.
