Favorite new live track from CV?
 

What is your favorite new live track from Crystal Visions and why? I love Edge of Seventeen w/ the MSO because she has excellent range and emotion and that is the absolute best version i have heard yet! The MSO also makes it so much more unique...it adds a different perspective to the song.

Rock and Roll. it's fresh and Stevie really lays some great vocals.

I like all of them really, but bored of them already. Ma needs to release some real new material...

Rock and Roll.

Am I the only one that doesn't hear the MSO at all on Edge? Something sounds a little different here and there, but if I didn't know this was recorded with a big orchestra they could have easily fooled me into thinking it was any live version from the past two years.

edge. edge. edge.

So its Edge then?

Ditto on Vanessa and Jaz's accounts - R&R kicks ass. :nod:

and I'm not knocked out by the Edge wail like I was hoping to be. it seems kinda lackluster. that's the orgasm of that song and since I don't exactly squeal, I just use a vibrator instead. same result, a lot less work.

less enjoyable too.

but i disagree - i think the wail is great and i really enjoy the "somewhere deep in the middle of the night" **** at the end.

and i can hear the orchestra - it just doesn't come in until the very end. which is kind of disappointing.

Hm, I probably nodded off before I reached the end then.

I kid, I kid, I really like Edge also, but I'm with Jazz on the wail, it was not her best. And...I can't believe I am about to say this, but the intro should have been a liiiiitle longer. I feel Stevie and the girls come in too soon, I needed the guitar part to go on a bit longer.

really? i hate the long intros. this is the first live version of edge i've heard in quite a while that i didn't think was too long.

I know, I hate the long intros also, that's why I still can't believe I said it. But as long as they usually are, that's how short it is this time. Feels off somehow. :shrug:

maybe the deep shame you feel for being a stevie fan is impeding your ability to accurately judge the new intro.

That's exactly what I just concluded. Thank God you confirmed it. That's probably also the reason I love Street Angel.

Truthfully, I'm not madly in love with any of the live tracks, but I do like Edge. And yes, I only notice the MSO atthe very end- but it's cool in that it seems to make the song more *urgent* in some way.
