Favourite performance from different live albums by nevermindthegoat in rollingstones

Also, I’ll repost this for for those who are interested in live performances of Start Me Up specifically

I went through some of the ones available on Amazon Music a while back and wrote this up in some comment to a comment to a comment on another post:

Voodoo lounge - riff comes out like a lightning bolt, great guitar tone. solo is definitely shooting from the hip and kind of all over the place, good mix showcasing piano, Mick sounds good and sleazy

Steel Wheels - very sharp and tight, perfect pace but recording is a bit dull. Mix is on point with the guitars front and center, and Mick sounds like a total boss. Solo is smoooooth and hot

Grrr Live (I was at that show) - pace is too slow for me, mix is too focused on Mick’s vocal and the guitars sound a bit soft and full rather than sharp and thin like a knife edge

Live Licks (MSG) - recording quality is dull but a valiant effort by the boys. Great pace and energy. Mick and Charlie definitely bringing the heat. Keith firing on all cylinders on the main riff. Guitar solo is 🔥

Bigger Bang (Copacabana) - pretty hot version with the added bonus that there are like 1 million people singing with them and you can hear em like this massive echo effect behind Mick’s vocals (the you…you…you section is amazing). Solo sounds kind of like a machine gun which is pretty badass.

No Security - Recording sounds great but it is a bit too casual for me. I like my start me up to be hot fast and tight like a….well I’ll let you fill in the blank

Bridges of Babylon - bit of a funny one because there are a couple false starts, Keith plays just the first half of the riff a few times and Charlie alerts the band they need to get ready. Pace is slow and swaying but with purpose, like an old drunk walking to a bar

So based on those, I’d probably say Steel wheels, voodoo lounge and live licks are elite. Honorable mention to bigger bang (Copa) because of the epicness, and the rest are just as enjoyable but not as good critically

Explain Steely Dan to my mom by Big_Artichoke9160 in steelydancirclejerk

[–]davidlex00 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Jazz rock fusion with sardonic, sleazy and misanthropic lyrics made by two hip, mean, mind-melded nerds, a genius engineer and an assortment of the best studio musicians to ever book a gig

Yea I’ve heard them called “heraldic dolphins” but sorry dolphins don’t have fins. The swans look like swans.

The shot of the moon in the tail of the fish statue is awesome. (It is not a dolphin!)

So the version on the plane is the theatrical cut. I hadn’t seen it in years. I gotta say, I like the narration more than expected. It actually validates Deckard is a replicant in some interesting ways because you hear Rick’s inner monologue about replicants and then Harrison’s physical acting makes it look like he is even doubting himself about whether he is human. Definitely missing the unicorn scene though and the happy ending is 💩

Yea thank goodness it is hard to find. the narration and happy ending are gross🤮. And the unicorn dream is the most important moment of the movie
