would you guys now some music that was pressed up by actual drunk people? Not tunes like Alcohol (Robert Jay) but records by people that were drunk during recordings! I'd be curious to hear your finds/examples! ps. and please no Amy Whinehouse!

there's a church in San Juan Chamula in Chiapas (MX) where they use a mixture of Christian and traditional practices (e.g., as they are praying, they sometimes also sacrifice chickens). there is also a local band who are hired to play along as you're praying, and they sing for hours and are drinking moonshine the whole time. the music is awesome (:slow_burner:)... can't find any on the web but I have a DVD of them somewhere... will try to find it and upload something.
I'm sure that all the famous alcoholic musicians recorded while drunk, but were able to keep it together and were supported by band members and producers.
Rolling Stones Exile on Main Street one example.
Young white blues historians thought it was cool to get him drunk, because then he would play the blues.
There are film clips of a drunk Son House made at the 1966 Newport Folk Festival.
This is a film clip of an after hours show from the 1966 NFF of Howling Wolf. Wolf is attempting to silence a drunk Son House.
Me and my MCs were either drunk and/or blunted when we recorded (with a one exception such as E-Nite who neither drank nor smoked).

Edit: found an excerpt:
They found him in a local bar, hammered. But it was Jamerson, so this was only a minor setback.
He was too drunk to stand up, so he played the line lying on his back, having never seen the chart before.
Nailed it first take.
