Matthews

This instrumental number was supposedly recorded by Dave during the studio sessions for his "Some Devil" album. It was officially released on a compilation CD called, "Sounds of Wood and Steel, Vol. 3".

The riff is exactly that of the Mother Father bridge/outro, and, in fact, the words "litho" and "blitho" supposedly mean mother and father in an African language (note: we suspect that this is false, much like the apocryphal translation of "Pantala Naga Pampa" meaning "welcome to our home" in Gambian, which is not a language). Also worth noting about the title is that it was recorded in Studio Litho, which is Stone Gossard's studio in Seattle ("litho" is a Greek root word for "stone").
