While we’re confident that the guys in the Boston-based funk-jam band Lettuce are pretty much paying rent at Jannus Live, they just announced that a trippy, two-LP picture disc set of “Vibe,” released online last year.

The 47-minute improv jam will make the time you spend waiting for an edible to kick in go by much faster, and it’s part of the Record Store Day 2024 list.

It’s anyone’s guess if we’ll get to hear it live in St. Pete, but considering that the band’s Orlando opener Cimafunk—the Afro-Cuban funk and soul superstar in the making that rocked our worlds at the 2022 Gasparilla Music Festival—is taking the night off, we can only hope.

Tickets to see Lettuce play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Feb. 24 are still available and start at $35.
