I love love love "Too High"! love

It might just be my least-favorite track from Innervisions, which should show how highly I think of that album.

I love the fact he remembered it to play it live a year back. Those descending rhodes lines coupled with the scatting are amazing . and like NmusiqNsoul stated, his harmonica overdubs are amazing. They remind me of the mid part of "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing"

"Da dad da dada da dum, Da Dah Dah Da Da Dum Dum Dumm"

cool

class. start to finish.

i love how steveland describes stuff he has virtually no concept of, apart from someone describing things to him (colours, shapes, seasons and the like etc). makes me think hard does our stevie.

At the show I saw he played most of the songs from that album. cool

I've often wondered if construction of a red lightsaber takes place before you can become a Republican, or is it something you do after initiation. Dah, well... shrug

I like this song too, I can hear exactly what inspired r&b artists from the last 20 years at least, especially Glenn Lewis.

Is it true this was written when he got high one time with John Lennon or something?
