Hmm... cool. I can hear the opening stanza as well as the "All I ever wanted" at the end, & those are both legit.
Have you compared the film of "Angel" with the soundboard of it?
The question about "Sara"--which is the most blatant rerecord of lead vocal on the entire Live album--is WHEN did she do this? She obviously had some sort of bronchial situation going on, recovering from a chest cold. But I saw her play with John Stewart after the Tusk tour ended, very shortly before the Live album was released, & she weren't sick or singing differently. So I believe she must have done the "Sara" rerecord during some break on the Tusk tour, like July. Maybe she got a summer cold in Los Angeles. We need these questions solved! Ask Stevie & Christine's Q&A are worthless.

I haven't heard the Providence or LA versions...On the "all I ever wanted" part, she overdubbed "was to know that you were dreaming sara."
In terms of the Tusk documentary film...This is what I deduct as being the 11-5 and 11-6 footage respectively. And I could only conclude this after hearing the 11-6 soundboard. "Not that Funny," "Angel," and "The Chain" audio is from 11-5. The video of "Angel" is most definately from that same night (11-5). Nothing seems fishy about the video/audio syncing....except in one part which I think is when they're both at the mic. "Not that Funny" could be either night. If I remember, there are a few parts that seem out of sync.
The funny thing about "The Chain" on the doc is that the video is from 11-6 but the audio is from 11-5. The footage of "The Chain" on the Tusk outtakes was from 11-5. Notice how Stevie's bun is a lot smaller on that night? The audio and video on that outtake completely matches up. But the audio made it onto the final doc. For some reason, they liked the shots from the 11-6 performance and decided to lay it over. Only obsessive diehards would notice this! One particular note, in the second verse of the line "run in the shadows etc" Stevie flubs at first and seems to start singing "break the silence" but quickly changes and it sounds like "breaaaa in the shadows etc." And the 11-5 video shows her doing this up close. And notice how they cleverly threw in that annoying audience noise to try to cover it up in the doc! Speaking of which, a friend and I used to crack up regarding the oft-overbearing audience noise. Were they trying to mimic those old Beatles tv performances where you couldn't even hear the band!? We need a version of the documentary - less the audience overdubs. Actually, I could do this on Final Cut since I have the 11-6 soundboard. I just need the 11-5 soundboard for those couple of songs. One of these days...
All the other songs on the doc are from 11-6. So, where is the 11-5 soundboard and other film footage? |
