Best versions of the songs?

Spamlet · 06-07-2004, 08:04 AM

We all know that everytime Damo plays a song live it's different. So what are your personal favorite performances of the songsand/or why are they so good?

This was mainly prompted by hearing an version of one of my favorite songs "Grey Room" the other day (Paradiso) that I reaallly disliked. I'd only everheard thestunning ElMocambo gig version beforewhich Damo beautifully and aptly sings by himselfbut on this version he was, I felt,innapropriately backed up by Lisa whichruins the whole mood of achingly lonelysolitude that song so perfectly evokes.

my favourite versions of songs are:

Delicate : live at the union chappel
Volcano: Live at the paradiso amsterdam , august 2003
The blowers daughter: live in milan, 2003 november -this is where Damo does a huge build up to creep! reall good!

There are loads more but my hands are hurting from typing!

good call with Volcano, thats the exact one I was going to post up. Nine and a half minutes of anger and distortion.

Volcano: Live at the paradiso amsterdam , august 2003
The Professor: Live In The Lobby, Feb.09 2002. the very funny kid's version
Toffee Pop: Cobh, Oct.25 01. so good it should be put straight onto the next album
Cold Water: Other Voices. beautiful medley with Hallelujah
Sand: KCRW, second session. just great.
Face: Dublin Castle, 2002. Medley with Prince cover.
Baby Sister: Beacon Theatre, NYC May 2003. haunting cello
Prague: Passau, 2002. damien giving it his all

I'm sure there are a few more, I'll post them up later.
