Gold Dust Woman Ending
 

Hey, not sure if this has been discussed, but what are the screamy noises at the end of GDW? They give me goosebumps...

This was one of the first questions I ever posted on the Ledge... hang on until I find the link.

Edit: Woops, I just realised that that might be misinterpreted as "This has already been discussed, how dare you post another thread about it?!"
That's not how I meant it at all! :wavey:

Thanks! And no, you seemed very polite!

I think it's Stevie shrieking & howling in her gutteral way, possibly through an amplified flanger or phaser. The engineers used a flanger or a phaser on the clavinet on that track, so maybe they ran Stevie's shrieks through it.

Which review was it (Esquire? Creem? Hit Parader?) that referred to the "Welsh witch howls that end the record"?

i've never heard the shattering glass. can anyone give me an exact time on when it happens? or is it only on a certain version?

Can someone repost the live mp3 discussed in the thread Sahara linked?

I think I have it ... give me a few minutes!
It's REALLY worth a listen :eek:

Edit: Here it is, Philadelphia 21/Mar/77

The album version is just around 4.03 ... it's much shorter than I thought, and not as prominent. You'll need to crank the speakers up!

:wavey:Thanks love! :wavey:

No problem! Michelle actually posted the whole Philadelphia show plus loads of others in this thread:

Thanks Michelle!

the shattering glass is one of my favorite things about this song. i noticed it from the first time i heard it... i just think it is so cool.

you're welcome :) one of these days I'll get around to the other tours. i'm having a really hard time uploading lately. I'll have to drive my comp downtown or something :lol:

I don't hear it :( :( :distress:


does anyone have any gold dust women ( :laugh: ) with the new ending?

baby, baby, baby, baby, baby-you can't save me now..etc??

i have none, and I totally dig it.

and while i'm at it, an edge with "I know what it sounds like, it sounds like you". I think i have ONE version of this.

Gold Dust Woman gave me freakin' nightmares the first few times I actually listened to it. I'd hear that cowbell clunking away with every step I took when I was out walking. Don't believe me? Step...Step. Step...Step. Clunk...Clunk. Clunk...Clunk. :eek:

I second both these requests.
The ending of Edge on Crystal Visions gives me the chills. "Somewhere deep in the middle of the night..."

And don't get me started on the dancing-with-Waddy. Sexy as all hell.
