Most frequently, this jam fuses "So Much to Say" and "Too Much." It serves this function on Live in Chicago, 12.19.98, and Untitled Central Park Live Album. Whenever used, it almost invariably follows "So Much to Say."
On occasion, during the 2003 summer tour and other rare instances, the band would use it to fuse "So Much to Say" with other songs.
An element of this song — the booming bassline played by Stefan Lessard — can also be heard in the first half of the jam which concludes "Pig" on Before These Crowded Streets. The other half of the jam includes the melody from "Deed is Done."
The jam's name is a reference to the Led Zeppelin song, "The Crunge." Released on the band's fifth album, Houses of the Holy, the song ends abruptly with lead singer Robert Plant asking, "Has anybody seen the bridge? ... Where's that confounded bridge?"
The DMB jam no lyrics and is usually Dave humming, scat singing and speaking gibberish. Often, as on Live in Chicago, 12.19.98, he will scat sing the words "Little baby," which conclude "So Much to Say."
I realize I'm digging this thread out of the past but I came up with another possible origin for Anyone Seen The Bridge and wanted to see if it had been considered - doesn't look like it has.
If anyone has a copy of The CD Of JB by James Brown or any of his other albums with Sex Machine, at around the 2:00 mark of the song they start breaking it down and hollering "Are you ready for the bridge?". Then, at the bridge of the song immediately afterwards, the break into a jam using the 9th chords with a funk rhythym very similar to ASTB.
Anyone else ever heard this? I'd have to check out the discographies of James Brown vs. Led Zeppelin but it could be that Sex Machine preceeds The Crunge and that they're all rooted. Or it could be an amazing coincidence. Just thought I'd toss it out.
If you want to be the popular one at a party, here's a good thing to do: Go up to some people who are talking and laughing and say, "Well, technically that's illegal." It might fit in with what somebody just said. And even if it doesn't, so what, I hate this stupid party.
The crunge never fails to crack me up every time I hear it.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
SMTS>ASTB>two step might actually work if you think about it in your head...might sound extremely cool, but like bigspeen, i was at the show at the blossom last yr w/the encore of SMTS>ASTB>PNP>Rapunzel and it was pretty cool but i got sort of pissed at the time bc I was ready for too much. oh well.
Celebrate we will...
Excuse me please? one more drink...
This is the Last Stop.
9 Planets around the sun...only one does the sun embrace...
Sing and Dance...
Eat, Drink and be Merry...
