Sara
 

I just joined up here. Looks like a great place. I searched around and found some old topics on Sara but I thought I'd start my own.

What was the longest version released? Does anyone know how or where I can get it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

It's such a great song and I'd love to hear the most unedited form available.

Thanks!

From what I've heard...the original version of Sara was summert like 19 minutes long but I don't think this version ever surfaced. I would love to hear it Sara is my fav song of all time

the longest version released is probably the demo on the Tusk re-issue.

as mentioned above, the full, unedited demo has never surfaced...though there are other demos that are longer than what's been released.

The longest unreleased version of Sara that exists is between 8 and 9 minutes long. And it's superb. :nod: I'm at work now but I will post it later if nobody else does in the meantime.

Does anyone remember the version Daniel posted on his site that was about 12 minutes long?

Thank you so much.

I got an mp3 from some ledgie.. it's exactly 10:44 and it's not the same in the Tusk reissue. I've heard also about the 17 or 19 minutes version but never got the song.

I used to have that one also, but I can't find it anymore. The only other demo of Sara that I have that is not the Cleaning Lady demo is 8.18 minutes.

I'd like to hear whatever you guys have if you're willing to send it. I don't have anything but the finished version.

19 minutes?! Holy Moses! :eek:

I'd love to hear some of these .... Sara is one of the best songs for loooong demos. It never gets boring.

Thanks in advance for posting!

No problem to me but it's a 10MB file, not sure jhow to send it, my email does not support that size

YouSendIt if your connection is up for it!

that's the longest one I have. It is gorgeous. The whole wind becoming crazy. That ol' crazy wind!! :laugh: and the "no sorrowful sorrow, and you can have no..more" awwwwwwww.....


also, I just like the way she says "I don't wanna be cleaning lady!" :laugh: :o

You go girl!! i don't either!!! haha..

oh-and on edit. I don't think I could take 18 minutes of sara. i love it, but after 15 I'm sure it gets tiring :lol:

With all the new lyrics? No way, I'd kill to hear that version!

Agreed. I can listen to the regular version of Sara for 20 times over.

Let the Sara - thon begin! Here's the remastered demo with slight lyric change (Said you'd give me light, but you never showed me about the fire). This one runs 10:44. Enjoy!

Some live favorites:

Melbourne 3/12/80 Sara ("down through the night")

Austin 8/31/83 Sara - I think she says something like "Do you know when it's love? I do" at the begining.

OMG! :eek: *is overwelmed by the Sara-ness* **** this is totally my fav song EVER!!! THANKS FOR POSTING!! One question tho...wot's the cleaning lady version?? I'll upload the White Wing Dove live version from '81 later tonight I'm at college at the moment. I love the whole HBO concert but Sara really was a highlight. It also has the DEFINITIVE version of Edge on it :D

If you buy the remastered Tusk album, the second disc has the demo referred to as the Cleaning Lady version of Sara because Stevie begins the song saying "I wanna be a star, I don't wanna be a cleaning lady."

my personal favorite version of Sara from the Bella Donna tour.

Wow thanks so much! They are great!

Does anyone have anymore? How about the Cleaning Lady version?

You do know that it's FOR SALE, in stores, right?:confused:

Anyone got one from the SYW tour?...

We don't tend to post commercially available tracks here and that one is on the remastered Tusk album.

Michael, this one is from Charlotte in 2004. I think I also have one from Madison somewhere if you want that one too.

Sure Michael. Let me see if I can find a particularly good one for you. :)

Ah okay. I haven't seen that in any stores though, only online. Having a heck of a time finding it.

^^You guys rock :cool:

I listened to several different SYW tour boots but there wasn't a whole lot of variation in the vocal so I thought I'd post that one.

I would just like to thank everyone for posting this. I am overwhelmed from all this fabulousness (and driving my husband crazy).
My personal favorite would be the one from the Bella Donna tour. It's such a bittersweet performance- cheerful , almost.

WOW....this is an awesome version. :)

WOW! It seems that the WWD version has gone down a treat. I really love this version. It has to be my favourite. It was one of the first I heard to. I think it was a chearful version because u can tell when you watch the video that Stevie was happy singing it..I think she was sorta looking back whilst she was singing it.

I love the one from the Bella Donna Tour. THe video is on YouTube by the way.

Thanks sooo much!

Fantastic!
I have some traded disks full of different demos and live versions of Outside The Rain and Gold and Braid ... does a similar disk exist for Sara?

I don't think so. That would be a cool compilation.

That sounds like just what we need! If you get the chance to upload it I'd be super-grateful. :xoxo:
We can make our own disks!
