dumb question, I know. But whats the back story to this song? They played it live better never recorded it. Was it just a fill in between songs on tour?

I'm So Glad was a song originally written and played by Cream (Clapton, Bruce, Baker) in the late 60's.
I love the way they played this in the middle of SGMAD live.
Achtung Baby I say, I say...

Cream is pretty good. I like song crossroads by them.
I'm So Glad was written by the great bluesman Skip James, although Van Davin's cover of the tune was most definitely from the Cream version...Skip sang in an eerie falsetto and played in a lotta weird open tunings...he was a big influence on Robert Johnson, who turned Skip's piano blues 32-20 Blues into a guitar tune.Originally posted by secrets

Hey, there you go, and for some reason I thought it was a Cream original.Originally posted by Loons The Great

after zero. before or after zero???? deep thinking.
Somebody Get Me a Doctor / I'm So Glad...played on every show of the Hide Your Sheep Tour except the rehearsals and the first three shows.
My absolute favorite Van Halen piece performed live, hands down.
no no...different question. If After Zero is supposed to have taken place after Zero, then why does it sound more like a rehearsal than Zero. Zero, the Gene Simmons disc sounds more like a cut album all cleaned and edited, while After Zero sounds more like demos. Not complaining though, just an observation. Maybe one that alot of people already made??? I asked this question a few times without an answer so far.
Also I have a Running with the Devil demo that's not on Zero or After. How many cuts of this song did they actually do before settling on the track for the VH1 CD?
heres one to wrap your head around. I love doing this to people.... In Dave's book, he mentions his nose breaking coming off the riser to do his split leg jump- the pic on the back of the album cover in fact. But also he mentions in the book that he wrote the song, SGMAD 25,ooo ft in the air over the Atlantic ocean going to Europe in I believe, '78. Well, if indeed that is true, then how in the hell did Somebody get me a Doctor end up on the early Zero and Afetr Zero demos? (1977)
Dey threw in some Girl Gone Bad in dere, too nah nah...I also dig the Ed/Al battles durin' the medley, Ed would even pick up the drum stick nah an' then...Beck did a tremendous,"I'm So Glad," in the Scorcese blues special...sd that he did 16 takes, all in different styles...Originally posted by Lou

I'm So Glad is cool. Great song. I dig the guitar/drum thing, too. The Cream original (I say "original" because it's the one VH copied, for sure) is awesome.

Got it on the US FESTIVAL. A nod to their past as a covers band & the Clapton influence. Very Kewl.
His nose? Actually, it was his right foot, as seen both on the inner sleeve of Van Halen II, and in this studio photo from the VHII sessions.....Originally posted by Big Troubles

No dude, he broke his nose filming a live performance in Europe right before the 1980 World Invasion Tour. He did the "Air Roth" right into a disco ball.Originally posted by Big Troubles

He broke his ankle/foot/whateva during the VHII photo shoot to which you were referring and what Ford said. He was wearing those platform shoes and *SNAP!!!*
EAT US AND SMILE!!!!
I'm So Glad
