I know they are only 30 second clips, but I think Show will be the best song on the album, which doesn't say much. I don't think it's better than any of the 4 or 5 best songs on Throwing Copper, Secret Samadhi, or The Distance to Here. Seems like there are an increasing number of filler tracks on Live's albums. There were a couple on TDTH...almost all of V was...three or four on Birds of Pray...and about half of this album will be filler tracks. Overall impression so far: it's okay.

In my opinion, Mental Jewelery was half filler tracks. After Mirror Song, the whole album is pretty much unlistenable for me. Throwing Copper has Horse, Waitress, Stage, and Dam at Otter Creek as tracks I just don't enjoy playing (save for a rare occasion). Also, I feel White Discussion is over-long and the worst single the band has ever released.
Secret Samadhi was the first album that I could listen to and enjoy every song all the way through. TDTH, V, and Birds of Pray are also albums were I enjoy listening to every song all the way through. From what I heard of Songs from Black Mountain, I don't hear one filler track, but thats just me.

To each his own.

To each his own indeed
White, discussion over-long Stage and Dam filler
Well and no filler on SFBM.. well it could be the first Live-album that does have filler..
Complete different taste over here I guess
