LB Big Yellow Taxi

[David A]

Hello

Can someone, and I know it’s been posted before, Lindsey’s version of Big Yellow Taxi please, as I am making a LB Compilation CD

And maybe any other LB tid bits would be great as well

Thanks in advance

David

OhmyGod. I'm ashamed to admit that just NOW was my first time hearing this, and it was a GREAT present today! This song never really did much for me, but I LOOOOVE this, and what he did with it. What prompted this recording, and when was it from? Tell me all about it!!

this is as great of a cover and adds to the song as Here Comes the Sun is horrible and takes away from that song.

imo, of course.

Going from memory. This cover was recorded about 10 years ago and was supposed to be part of a Joni Mitchell tribute album that got shelved for a number of years. When it resurfaced, the LB cover was not included. There was only a snippet available for the longest time, but eventually a Ledgie provided the entire track (maybe 5 years ago). I think Mick played drums on this track.

^ Just as well it wasn't included. That tribute album was plain bad. Not good company for LB to be in.

Although I'm still not 100% sure I like this cover either. The original is just too special to me, maybe. Interesting to listen to though! Thanks for posting, SadAngel86! (And whichever Ledgie posted here it 5 years ago!)

Oh, c'mon...I just ate dinner (late)...don't spoil it by mentioning Lindsey's abomination of George Harrison's magnum opus.

[AbbiJoy78]

Whaaaa? There is another song I don't have? "here comes the sun?" I am intrigued. Someone give it to me as a b-day present! Haha

[SadAngel86]

Above list does not include covers of other FM songs, such as Oh Well, Hypnotized, Green Manalishi,etc. and possibly others that Lindsey may have sung lead on. I know LB performed I Want You on Mick's solo album, but I don't know if LB wrote that song.
