Best of live

Minihane · 04-11-2007, 06:57 PM

I was just trying to put together a best of Damiens live stuff. I was looking at alternative versions that are very different from album or single versions. For example I remember live on KCRW or Nine crimes live in galway 2004. I haven't got alot of his live shows so I was just wondering what other peolpe though his best alternative songs live are. My top five are below.

1. Be my husband (galway 2004)
2. I remember (KCRW)
3. Rootless tree (Abbey road)
4. Fool (dublin 2001)
5. Nine crimes (galway 2004)

I personally love The Professor from Tower Theatre with the Child, Man, Silly Dog bit. I also really like Delicate from Firenze where he does the Old Tomatoes at the beginning. And, I like the medley of Amie, Rat, Lonelily, Grey Room, Cross-eyed Bear and Bottom shelf from El Rey.

If you're looking for 'radical' versions, don't forget the Metal version of The Blower's Daughter from Boston Dec 06!!!!! That show has a high quality Accidental Babies with extended cello/piano outro...

What about Lisa singing Cannonball, that's pretty different eh? I think it's in a gig from Derry.

There are lots of great alternative Professor. There's one that has Babylon/Man Child Dog, I think it's from Dublin... and the ones that have the 3rd French verse.

Same for I Remember. I like the one from Bonnaroo in which he sings a bit of Kylie!! and the one from El Rey that ends up with Damien shouting 'sing about me, sing about me' like crazy...

Cheers lads exactly what I was looking for. Will check out those.

the prefessor, "children's version" must go on there.

shyatt3 · 04-11-2007, 07:30 PM

I second that Lisa on Cannonball, I quite like that version.

Yeah, that one's absolutely HILARIOUS! Makes me laugh out hard every time I listen to it.

I also love "Face" with the "Kiss" interlude.

Must be from a festival, can't remember which one, though...

Wasn't there a set in '01 where Lisa sang everything? It might have been in TBMC.

borneoman · 04-11-2007, 08:38 PM

What's TBMC??

Closing_Doors · 04-11-2007, 08:51 PM

Temple Bar Music Centre, a venue in Dublin.

borneoman · 04-11-2007, 09:44 PM

and they really did a gig with Damien just playing guitar and Lisa singing all the songs???????????? Anyone taped??

Rai · 04-11-2007, 09:53 PM

What about the Volcano-reggae? Its pretty extraordinary...

chris-delicate · 04-11-2007, 10:07 PM

Could someone please send me The Professor Children's version please? sounds like a good fun song?

babyeskimo · 04-12-2007, 08:33 AM

chris_delicate -i have the kids version of the professor if u want it - just PM me ur e-mail and i'll send it to u.

At my first Damien gig, Damien was really sick and had almost no voice, so Lisa sang most of the songs...Damien attempted a few, but was quite froggy. It was at the 9:30 Club in DC, but there's only one recording of the whole show, and it's not very good. Someone out there has a better version, but it's only the first 30 minutes or so and I have never been able to get my hands on a copy...I know it exists, though.

JBTongue · 04-12-2007, 02:05 PM

Tongue from the Tower Theatre show in 04 is really good too.

Was wonderful :-)
