The eighth The Desert Sessions LP, titled Volume 8: Can You See Under My Thumb?...There You Are, was released in 2001, packaged along with Volume 7: Gypsy Marches in a gatefold 10" album format. The name comes from a line in the song "Hangin' Tree" from the previous volume. The riff of "Cold Sore Superstars" was later used on the Queens of the Stone Age song No One Knows.
