I never heard of Zimmy doing Brownsville or NewDansville Girl in concert. But I love the outtake version of the tune found on bootlegs.

As I'm watching WGN Morning News, they played Tears for Fears' Raoul and the Kings of Spain from '95 as they segued into a commercial break. It's a good thing that this was a CD because I would have worn out the grooves on this track on vinyl. Curt was gone at this point. Raoul (Roland's birth name) should have called it Tear for Fear.

Making it plain, making it sane, to turn this loss into a gain...
Actually, he did Danville Girl at a number of concerts in the 80's. Clearly, you're a fan of Blind Boy Grunt.

Got my copy of Velvet Underground (Banana). I'll cut right to the chase. It sounds like shit. Could it be better than CD's out there? I don't know...but minus all that knowledge - it sounds thin, compressed and raspy. Disaster....
That being said..I love the music and am pleased to have this disc...won't be turning it up anytime soon though.
The only thing I can think of being more pointless in 24/96 than the Velvet Underground's first album is...the Velvet Underground's second album.
I love everything they ever did, but man, the recording quality SUCKED on those first two! I don't have a huge disagreement with those who say it fits the material, but I just don't get the point of all that overdriving and distortion. What were they thinking when they suddenly and arbitrarily cranked everything on that brief portion of "Femme Fatale"? (Hmmm...suddenly want to go home and see if that same oddity is on the mono version...)
I've been to many concerts recently by modern bands like Kasabian (HUGE in EU, but most Yanks ask "who?)and Imagine Dragons. Great music rendered nearly unlistenable by BONEHEADED engineering at Metro & Allstate Arena.
They think clipping makes it sound immediate and edgy. SOUNDS LIKE MUDDY SHIT!! I guess we just listen differently.
I can count of my fingers how many "live" rock concerts I have attended that I thought the music sounded stellar...that's why I prefer the studio releases for hi rez music...too many factors involved...
These days, you ALWAYS need to bring earplugs to a concert. Perhaps the next phase will be to wear blinders, as well.
Never know when there might be a wardrobe malfunction:couch
Lol, with the average birthday of the acts I go to being about 2 days before Moses was born, don't need to see any wardrobe malfunctions!:yikes
lmao - well...I'm listening to Roger Waters...Amused To Death blu-ray for the first time. And honestly, my system isn't up to par yet as I need to figure out where to put my speakers and run Audessey....
First impression is that it sounds amazing! First impression...
Ugh...sure it sounds good...but what about the content?...is it music or just a bunch of random sounds...I'm not sure I could relate to it even if I was stoned...
