the lindseydemo's bin
 

Hi all,

Over the years I've heard alot of incredible lindseydemo's over here. But I never archived them. Lost them in crashes, or-mainly-just listened and not stacked them. Now I'm eager to collect and put them on harddisk and CD, to build a Lindsey-songpainting-book (sorry sortasavagelike) to dig deeper in his songbuildingstyle. So can you help me with putting up as much demo's (don't care how sketchy they are) as possible in this thread? It would be great if we could share and discuss them over here...

thanks in advance,

Gerald

I will gladly help you out there,

Not that my collection is that big but i do have sone rare stuff


Rare on air - Never Going Back again
Big Yellow Taxi
Here Comes The Sun
Take A Little Time
A pretty short raw clip of - Louie Louie
The full suite of songs from Gift of Screws

I can post any of these songs and if anyone wants them. Anyone with anything different they would like to share that would be great

I'll post everything I have tonight. :wavey:

:]:]:]:]:]:]:]

ditto that!!! :]:]:]:]:]:]:]

I probably don't have as much as other people here, but I'll try to post what I can. Are you looking for them in mp3/wma/wav or does it not really matter?

Is that from the KCRW show? I like that one, but my favorite is the one he did on the air during the 1992 Rockline with Bob Coburn. There's something about that little throwaway performance that just sounds so perfect, so complete.

Okay, here goes. I initially wanted to put all the demos in one big file but then I figured some people might already have some tracks and would rather not download it all again. So that's why I am doing them all separately. No complaining!

Obviously some of these tracks are exactly the same as the ones that ended up on either album (SYW or UTS), for example Come and Murrow, or they are just sans Stevie, and I'm pretty sure Go Insane is taken from The Dance dvd, but I hate to break up a complete set, and this is how it has been traded around for years, so that's why it's here in its entirety.

MF, it would be great if you could upload Louie Louie, I can't find that 1992 WLLZ interview where he did that and I'd love to have it again. :wavey:

I still need the GOS cd...I had it on a disc, and then my mom used it for backing up files...all of the songs got delted...that betch...:mad:

I have a Try for the Sun instrumental, and another version of Peacekeeper [and the radio edit, but Id have to dig through deep to find it.]

Ill post if anyone wants it [the radio PK will have to wait until the weekend, cause ive been bombarded with schoolwork...:(

Wow!!! I have never heard Twist of Fate before! What an awesome song. I hope that one ends up on the next album.

Thanks for posting Vanessa!!!

It's my favorite also. I can die happy if it ever ends up on an album, but I really doubt it. :cool:

Is that Stevie on She Smiles Sweetly or is it Lindseys digitization of his voice? Im loving all these songs Ive never heard before. They really rock. A lot of them sound like classic 70's Rock and Roll guitar. These are really great!!

I can see it on the next album, for sure.

Im really loving She Smiles Sweetly and Gift of Screws. But Gift of Screws has that part where its like the Hokey Pokey.

That's Lindsey's voice. Whether or not it was deliberately made to sound like Stevie... who knows. I do know that Stevie once said that if you speed up Lindsey's voice it sounds exactly like Stevie. That's how she knew what her songs were going to sound like on the album when she got back from the TISL tour, Lindsey used his own voice to sound like hers.

I can too, but someone asked Lindsey about it not long ago and he didn't even know what song this person was talking about. :lol:

It is true, they do sound very similar. I love these Lindsey songs. Its like discovering a new album. I can't wait to put them on the Ipod. Shuffle Riff will definitely be in my workout playlist.

if someone could post 'love minus zero' it would make my year

For whoever asked: Below is Lindseys Louie Louie

http://www.sendspace.com/file/gbuuoc


and David yeah im 99.9% sure its the KCRF Version.

Alice Lover, having made over 3000 posts i cannot believe you never heard twist of fate. Its class isnt it. one of my favourites anyway.

He knew surley. That was his polite way of saying you should'nt know about that song yet.

It's as danx says definately Lindseys voice, however if you listen to "Wear you Down" (stevies Riff) you will be amazed how similar they can sound when lindsey messes around with voice manipulating equipment.

Oh and here it is - "wear you down" mp3 below

http://www.sendspace.com/file/rjjve7

Here's the 2001 AHI live version.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/3t7gfm

I really got into Lindseys stuff after my first Under the Skin show and I put in Out of the Cradle after having it since I was born. So this is all new to me. They are already on my Ipod. Im not gunna lie, a lot of this stuff it better than a lot on Under the Skin coughflyingdownjunipercough.

In some of the songs though I hate when he does that. But when he does them live its like the manipulation wasn't even there. If these demos are any indication, then the new rocking album will kick ass!

a thousand blessings upon your home!

Vanessa, I have had Twist of Fate on repeat for the past hour (instead of studying for my psychology exam), this is one of the best LB songs EVER EVER. That solo at the end is incredible. HOW HAS THIS NOT MADE AN ALBUM YET?!!?!

Oy Jimmyjimmyjimmy.....
I personally hate that last album of his. He doesn't even sing any more. He just wheezes & fizzes out of his throat. He sounds like a bullfrog on the bayou.

Lindsey broke me. When I first heard Shut Us Down, I couldn't take it. Reminded me too much of the dying Peter Jennings. By the time UTS came out, I was used to that rasp. Guess he's proven that if you do it long enough, they'll start to like it. Break their will.

I did have an attempt at proselytizing backfire though. I got so many copies of UTS when I bought concert tickets through Ticketmaster that I was giving them away. I had two people give them back to me because they hated his voice. I said, "But aside from his voice, did you like the music?" My boss said, "I couldn't HEAR the music, aside from his voice." This disappointed me, because my boss was a guitar player and I thought if anyone would appreciate UTS it was him. Lindsey lost himself a convert.

Overall, OOTC is probably the better album. But I love Show You How so much that it actually elevates the entire thing for me.

Michele

Oh? And here's me thinking that the reason you went on hiatus was because a Macster actually let you down and released something GOOD in the last 10 years.

oh you guys ♥

i thought i might never get the chance to download all these again. you have made my day/week/month/year. ♥

Vanessa, thanks for the 2 metersessies!!!! :blob2:

Sorry, but for me Out of the Cradle destroys Under the Skin, but I must say Down on Rodeo and Try for the Sun are really good songs.

I certainly don't blame you for thinking that. Just the other day I was driving a friend somewhere and I had UTS on in the car, and he basically said the same thing. Though he liked the acoustic atmosphere, the intimateness and Lindsey's guitar work, his voice annoyed him too much to give an objective opinion on the rest of the album.

I have to admit, I don't even notice it anymore. Like many people here, I didn't really like Shut Us Down at first listen, but that song grew on me and is now one of my favorites. Like with all acquired tastes, it takes some getting used to. ;)

That said, I do have to say that I Am Waiting, Try For the Sun and Down on Rodeo are my favorite tracks on the album. Maybe that has to do with the fact that he actually does some singing on that instead of whispering, but especially IAW and TFtS are songs where the change in pace and octaves are what draw me to them. I prefer songs that have some variety, that can sweep me up and drop me down again. That's why Tango in the Night and Street of Dreams are my favorite songs of Lindsey ever. Songs like the title track and Cast Away Dreams, though beautiful songs, their monotony gets on my nerves after too many listens.

You're welcome. :D

I can't decide about whether I like OOTC or UTS better. Really, I'm still so effing excited to have a new Lindsey album that my judgement is probably a bit clouded... maybe I can make a decision in a couple years.

That said, Law and Order could probably outrank both of them for me. I love that record so.so.so much.

Its a bummer that Lindsey hates his voice because I love it. I love it when he sings. I think thats why I liked the 'live' Under the Skin songs so much more than the album songs because he SANG them live. Once I heard Under the Skin, Shut us Down, and Down on Rodeo I started loving the album tracks so much more.

He did DoR at one of your shows?

Down on Rodeo: It's on the DVD bootleg (Pabst Theater UTS Milwaukee). It is very impromotu---liike some lady kept requesting it, so he finally did it. (I think...)

I don't have the DVD bootleg. But that's interesting.

I was surprised that DoR didn't make it to the lineup... it was sooo good on Soundstage.

THANKS, all of you, especially Danax6!!!! great!

Do i have more on my wishlist? well, Any lindseysongFMdemo would be fine too. I know there are some from tusk and mirage. Don't know if there are rumours or whitealbum demo's that were not released on the reissues. Tangodemo's of lindseysongs? never heard one.

oh yeah...On the wrong side, anyone?

I feel like a spoiled brat asking for more, but those cassettedemo's of Deep Dense and Steve's riff(wear you down), are nothing less than intriguing. They really show how he works (worked). And yes, that "painting music" in my book too.

I hope some of you can help me out, and I am very glad this thread is a welcomed by others too. Cool.

:eek:

I thought you only wanted solo stuff. :laugh: I'll upload some more of FM tomorrow after work.

Here you go...
