The classic line-up of GBV - with Tobin Sprout and Mitch Mitchell on guitars, and, of course, Robert Pollard on lead vocals - reunites, gets a bunch of beer and plays sloppy, spirited in-concert versions of songs by the Beatles, the Who, early Genesis, the Cars, R.E.M., Moby Grape, Wire, King Crimson, early Pink Floyd and a hundred other bands who've influenced them. All the songs are listed on a big-screen monitor by the side of the stage a la Max Weinberg's recent Jukebox tour. A drunken, soul-cleansing high is had by performers and audience alike. A drunken, soul-cleansing "live" album of said covers is eventually released.<br /><br />Chris Edwards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-90525014290115482962017-11-17T15:37:30.738-05:002017-11-17T15:37:30.738-05:00Hello all...no, please remain seated,
This topic ...Hello all...no, please remain seated,<br /><br />This topic is fun. I'll contribute two:<br /><br />Here's one I stole from a commenter on a youtube video: "...Pink Floyd should do a pleasingly slow and turgid cover version of Elton John's 1972 hit "Rocket Man".<br /><br />I totally agree.<br /><br />Here's one of my own: a John Prine cover of Tom Petty's Room At the Top. Done acoustically, this song sounds like it could have been on Bruised Orange. And TP&HB's were all over a couple of Prine's early 90's albums.<br /><br />Regards,<br />RichD<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-62727288775046962592017-11-17T14:32:21.542-05:002017-11-17T14:32:21.542-05:00Thanks, Steve.

I've never wanted a cover more than that one. <br /><br />Something also tells me that Richard Thompson would take West End Girls to a different stratosphere on the acoustic. <br /><br />J.
