6 - Big Eyed Fish - Dave Matthews Band DMB - Lillywhite Sessions - Track 06 - Big Eyed Fish

(Big Eyed Fish) The Lillywhite Sessions (LWS) is a collection of songs recorded by Dave Matthews Band in 1999 and 2000 and produced by Steve Lillywhite. The songs, recorded by the band as a follow-up to their 1998 album Before These Crowded Streets, were ultimately scrapped by the band. This is frequently attributed to pressure from RCA executives to wrap up the sessions and release an overdue (per contract), upbeat album (the LWS were considered on the darker side by RCA).[by whom?] Upon abandoning the album-in-progress, Dave Matthews was assigned to work with producer Glen Ballard who, in association with Matthews, wrote the album Everyday in just ten days. This contrasted with the band's prior style of writing, which included significant collaboration between the band members in the studio. The recordings later emerged on the internet shortly after the release of Everyday, and created controversy among fans as well as the music industry, which was early in its campaign to curb illegal file downloads. The Lillywhite Sessions were never released.

So much better than the studio version found on Busted Stuff. I love how dark and unrelenting it is.

@dowse1010 I agree with you on this.. But Busted Stuff in general is just less good on so many levels.

[jspezza1912]

@shegoislanders cause it leaked before it was finished. most of the songs ended up on busted stuff a few years after once they were finished

[shegoislanders]

In my mind, the difference between lillywhite big eyed fish and busted stuff big eyed fish is bigger than any of the songs that are on both. The lillywhite being the much better of the two. Dave's vocals are so much more intense.
