Neil Young : Time Fades Away (Again) : Aquarium Drunkard

I have not. I will have to check that out. The actual TFA was, by design, taken from performances that were not the best from a technical standpoint, and I have heard other performances from that tour (including the Tuscaloosa archive series release) that sound much different.@Pip's Invitation

New-to-me favorites from #23:
Ready to Shine -- Young Galaxy (Hov34). This is pretty much a perfect pop song.
Chismiten -- Mdou Moctar (Mister CIA). Another winner from him, with even more spectacular guitar work.
Svefn-G-Englar -- Sigur Ros (Marco). Incredible atmospherics.
The Less I Know The Better -- Tame Impala (Westerberg). Very different from their other selections so far, with funk and Britpop elements. Reminds me a bit of the Style Council.
Gostava Tanto De Você -- Tim Maia (Don Quixote). Philly Soul transplanted to Brazil!

This Time Fades Away (the song) sounds like a fusion of heavy metal and outlaw country. Biker music, I guess. The official version is pretty ragtag but this one is even wilder. (By contrast, the version on Tuscaloosa is much more polished and could pass for an uptempo country song.)@Pip's Invitation
Don't know if you've seen this but it's a version of Time Fades Away assembled from Neil's other live recordings of the songs.

The piano ballads (all of which were taken from 1971 performances, not the TFA tour) all had pretty rough vocals, by design. This version of Journey Through the Past sounds more like the Harvest outtake that's on Archives Vol. 1 than the TFA version. Faster, with harmonica, and of course a better vocal (this was from a 1976 show after he had surgery on his vocal cords.)
Yonder Stands the Sinner was performed only a handful of times, so there aren't many alternate versions to choose from. This one isn't a whole lot different from the TFA version.
This version of LA is the only performance of the song not from 1973 -- Neil broke it out at a 2015 show with Promise of the Real. Despite the time and band differences, it doesn't deviate that much from the TFA version, aside from some extra harmonies on the chorus.
The Love in Mind is from 2014 and is probably the only track here that has a weaker vocal than what's on TFA. The best part of the TFA version is Neil's singing on the "Jesus where has nature gone" section. By 2014 his voice no longer had the power to do what it did on that passage.
Don't Be Denied is the one TFA song that Neil has performed somewhat consistently throughout his career, so there are a lot of alternatives to choose from. This is from the 1983 tour where it was rearranged into an acoustic song with minimal backing from The Shocking Pinks. It shows the song has power even without wailing guitars.
Like the TFA version, this version of The Bridge is from a 1971 solo show, also done unaccompanied on piano. But Neil plays around with melody and cadence in a different way. This version also has a lovely "love came running" coda that is missing from the TFA version.
I had a cassette recording of the 1973 Bakersfield show, so I have heard this version of Last Dance before. There's more country-rock twang in the guitar passages as opposed to the noisy freakouts of the TFA version. As with most versions from this tour, this has an emphatic "come on, turn on the light" coda in contrast to the rambling about orange juice and coffee on the TFA version. Which is one of many data points in my theory that Neil deliberately chose the TFA performances for their shock value. He wanted it to sound as different from Harvest as humanly possible.

Socialism for Dummies
Todays hopefully spoiler free rundown
1 Torn was co written by former Cure member Phil Thornalley. Thornalley has become a very successful song writer and even fronted Johnny Hates Jazz as a replacement for Clark Datchler. This song was written in 1991, but it took until 1997 and several artists later until it hit Australian soap opera star Natalia Imbruglias attempt at a singing career. Neighbours, the soap she was on, became a phenomenon in the UK and drama academy for names such as Margot Robbie, Liam Hemsworth, Russell Crowe, Ben Mendelsohn and Kylie Minogue to name a few
Its competitor Home and Away had Chris Hemsworth, Heath Ledger, Isla Fisher, Naomi Watts, Guy Pearce etc
Anyway, Torn was number 1 on the airplay charts for 11 weeks in a successful attempt to get people to buy the album it came from instead of just the single. Great strategy. It was so successful the way the charts were tabulated were changed and in its last 2 weeks of life it was allowed to enter the single charts, hence its odd placing of #42.
Great song.
2 Great timing with the Beat song. just bought the cassette it came from yesterday for a dollar. The Beat transcended the ska scene very well
3 Mdou Moctar again. Wow. With another different song. Awesome stuff
4 I love Yello. I must have listened to about 40 tracks from them and the Swiss field is surprisingly competitive. Great to see the Race get a mentioned
5 This is much better than the Krokus song I chose. When im listening to 40 Yello songs, something has to give and the first song from Krokus i like misses out on some good stuff
6 Thanks for the assist on the Very Best. Damn wish i thought of K’Naan. Somalia was not on my list. He did a couple of songs with Keane that I love. Much better that some of the songs I chose. Damn also noticed a Vampire Weekend “cover” as well by the Very Best in the way of Cape Cod
7 Nice we have 2 songs from the Very Best. i was looking for other countries and this Malawi eligible band hit the mark. This song was my favorite from them by far. Very very good
8 System of a Down were pegged for Lebanon, but Armenia....written as Albania...whoops.....become eligible. Easy mistake. Not many places start and end with an A. Its quite rare. Anyway, they either make silly songs or serious political messages. Was very tempted to pick BYOB as its a great track with high school politics as its lyrics.

****Announce****** If you want a copy of any of the US or British Isles playlists, please copy into your own playlist. I will be deleting them on 4/1/23..not an April Fool's. I need to get my Spotify under control
You can move playlists under top level folders now so you don't have a gigantic list (at least you can on the PC client, not sure about the others)
*****Announce***** Pls check the old playlists to see if they still work correctly after moving them into folders, if this works no deletion is necessary.

It's absolutely insane what tickets cost these days. Hopefully, this whole Swifties vs Ticketmaster results in positive change, otherwise, I will just continue to see pretty much only DMB. Through the Warehouse (their fan club), we got two tickets in what Ticketmaster would call premier seating for 149 a piece. Through Ticketmaster, those would be in the 8-900 range.

The resale market has killed ticket prices (which are high enough to begin with). Five minutes after tickets go on sale, they’re already on the resale market.

My time ended up being limited last night, so I’ll want to keep this relatively brief to keep pace. Just know that it was very tough to narrow down selections for this. I enjoyed much, and I was tempted to expand both of my main categories. Perhaps I should have!

So funny how a few people have written that they never heard the Joni version of “This Flight Tonight”, only the Nazareth version. I’ve been listening to the Joni version for years, and was never aware of the Nazareth version until yesterday.

While we were preparing our lists, I asked OH if he was going to having The Clean on his, and he said probably (he has a hard time ever making a definitive statement). I told him I was going to have the above song on my list, and he said, "Really? Not 'Tally Ho'?," indicating that Tally Ho would be his pick if he took one.
Then the jerkface went and stole my song for his list! Now he owns it!

This is a childhood car radio favorite. It has everything that's great about disco and nothing that sucks about it. And the synth solo is to die for. It was the first hit in keyboardist Rod Temperton's illustrious songwriting career.

Destroyer is led by Dan Bejar, who contributes songs to New Pornographers albums but doesn't tour with them. However, I did get to see him perform, as when New Pornographers toured for Twin Cinema (the album with Bleeding Heart Show on it), Destroyer was the opening act. Unfortunately I didn't think their set was very good. This song didn't exist yet. Bejar did appear during the New Pornographers set to perform three of his NP songs, so that was pretty cool.

Didn't want to shout it out yesterday due to Swiss neutrality laws.

There was another guy here that got a 30 day suspension for badmouthing Dave. Just giving the new guy a head's up.
And to add there was no real thought behind which cover version to pick except "stupid Neil/Spotify fight making me work extra hard for this" so I basically picked the first one I recognized.

One of my favorite podcasts covered Torn last month. I had no idea about the three other versions released before Natalie Imbruglia made it her own. The original one Thornalley penned with Ednaswap is painfully early 90s and would have been right in my wheelhouse had I known of it:

I whiffed on Dio thinking Dio meant Dio solo and not Dio being the band name with an ineligable-for-the-American-draft guy. But it does appear that "band" was the intent of the name.
Good pick. Hope to see more.
