The compilation thread

[michelle2677]

several different threads around the ledge have sparked this idea for me and the recent Station Man thead went ahead and threw it into action :laugh:

So here's the deal. Pick one song out of the rumours era and pick your favorite versions of that song. please make it at least 3 or 4 but not an excessive amout like 20 or 30. When picking dreams, or GYOW, it could get a bit much.

Please avoid studio versions, or anything commercially available. Please include live versions, demos, or anything else you have that you would love to share. You don't have to give a summary of the songs or anything, but if you can it would be nice.

Also, i am going to try to update this original post as people put their songs up. once that song has been picked, do NOT post it again. I don't want 15 compilations of you make loving fun or gypsy.

depending on how well this goes, we might move it to the pre-rumours forum, stevie forum and anywhere else people would like to do it.

one last thing-please keep in mind, this is 50% about the song, but 50% about the person posting. It's THEIR compilation. So please refrain from "that SUCKS!" or.."well MINE is so much better!" :laugh: :xoxo: and if you have any questions about how to upload songs, zip files or posting a compilation in general, please pm me :wavey:


alright. go.

the following songs have been taken:
angel
landslide
sisters of the moon
rhiannon

[michelle2677]

all of these are from the tusk tour

live in chicago

Love the difference in the way she sings "i stiiiiill look up!!" so matter-of-factly

live in cleveland

she kinda drags the song, but not in a bad way. the vocal is kinda connected all together if that makes sense.

love the "ooooh baby boy and many of those dreams"


live in melbourne, australia

I love angel because it's so raw and gritty. This is a much more mellow version of it and so different from the original so it stands out just a tad.

live in st. louis.
My all time favorite. great taping quality and great performance. This is very close to the tusk doc version of angel, but imo, slightly better :o

yokohama japan-
another good version, but highlight for me is when she take the "well track a ghost through the fog" higher than normal. she also rips the **** out of the end.

Great idea for a thread Michelle. I'm going to have to think of a song and do this after I get home. Of course, I'll have to pm you for directions on how to make a compilation.

Btw, Angel is probably my one of my favorite Mac songs. Love it and I can't wait to dl the compilation. Can't do anything at work or they freak out.

:thumbsup:

I like this idea, so I'm throwing something together right now. No one steal Landslide!

[michelle2677]

^^i'll add it to the list now :) :thumbsup:

[equeen102289]

Landslide

Baton Rouge 8-30-78
"Hello Baton Rouge..." Need I say more?

Wallingford, CT 9-3-75 (or whenever the hell they played this Who's the New Girl show)
The old versions of Landslide are the best imo. Her voice was so pure and melodic. Just so pretty.

LA 8-17-91
She seemed to put a little more into the song during this show for whatever reason. There are also some changes in high notes that aren't usually sung. Also she adds the "hope you make it" lyric.

AHI 4-21-96
The most simple, getting to the point, version of Landslide I've ever heard. Sometimes you don't need any of that extra stuff to enjoy it.

Camden 6-15-07
Gotta have a present day Landslide, considering they're the best renditions she's done since '77.

^^^ That St. Louis boot of Angel never fails to amaze me. Best performance ever!

I have downloaded these, but am not able to listen to them. I'm on a fairly new computer, which means it doesn't have JACK!! :laugh: do you recommend any particular thing to listen to it with??

[Chrislit18]

If youre using a windows, Windows media player is good, also my windows has RealPlayer...that works alright...
I really, REALLY love iTunes, so thats my main recomendation, I think you can get it free on apple.com :nod:

[Chrislit18]

sorry bout that...

A RAR file is a type of ZIP file. Goggle for a free tool called RARZilla - it will decompress it for you automatically. There are other programs too - WinRAR, etc, - but I think you have to pay to keep them after a few uses.

Okay, Sisters of the Moon is mine, so no one steal it. I'll upload some when I come home from work.

I don't really have time to give a breakdown of each track right now, but it's got everything from the demo to some awesome versions from the 70s and 80s and one in the early 90s.

[LiamMcConville]

Here is the compilation I made.

Live Memphis 1983.
I love this song live, I wish they did it EVERY Mirage show, but this one is amazing.

Christine Solo.
It is a version where only Chris does the vocals, she adds in extra lyrics [specifically the chorus], and changes some in the verses. Its different, and I like it almost as much as the original.

Outtake.
This is from the Mirage session. It sounds very much like the album cut, but the 'come on and' in front of the hold mes are different, adds some Lindsey to the total Christine song. I would have perfered this one on the album, and the album cut the outtake....

Lindsey Lead.
It has Lindseys vocals overlapping the faint Chris ones. His voice isnt its usual self, but I like it nevertheless. It adds something to the song, its a nice change from the Mirage version.

[I]Rehersal version.
Perfect concert rehearsal. It gets awesome after the bit where Chris talks. [sorry, I mismarked this one in the zip file, it says 'alternate', I wasnt paying attention, I am quite sorry for the mistake.]

Live Oakland 1982.
I just got this one the other day, from the thread here on the Ledge, and fell in love with the live version of this song, I think this one is a perfect closer to the collection.

[aleuzzi]

This thread was such a great idea...especially for someone like me who has NONE of these versions.

What happened?

BTW: awesome versions Hold Me and Angel

[michelle2677]

^^I kinda figured that might happen. I wish we could get some chris and liddy fans in here so they can post some of their music and demos. I have tons of stevies, but not many of theirs :( btw, i'm starting threads to post all of my concerts, so hopefully that will help you out :)



downloading hold me and best of rhiannons right now. thanks guys :xoxo;

[danax6]

SOTMs are coming! :cool:

I'll Post some Oh Dianes tomorow. :D

[Sahara]

Ack ... missed the Angel one. *pout*

Can anyone re-upload? And hopefully I'll have time to repay the favour :D

[michelle2677]

angel compilation :)

[Chrislit18]

Thanks Michelle :D
I missed it also.

Sorry on the Oh Diane wait, just my comp is being retarded AGAIN! [the one with the music files] Hopefully my mom will fix the problem so I can upload/download :)

[chiliD]

Rhiannon: For me, it's the August 23 (?) 1977 version from the Forum in Los Angeles (well, technically, Inglewood). Nothing recorded, that I've heard, comes close to that one. (I've PERSONALLY heard a couple of more intense versions, but haven't found recordings of those)


Green Manalishi: The "Trod Nossel"/"Who's The New Girl?" version is one of the better recordings of the Rumours crew doing this song. Not the best I've heard them do, just the best recording.

[Sahara]

angel compilation :)
