Sooo good!
Agreed. That rehearsal is killer. And following it up with “The Ledge,” where Christine strums on the guitar. What’s not to love?

I hear in both of these songs a noticeably different approach to the material, in both cases because they originally used studio affects and engineering to make those tunes seem stranger, spacier than they actually are. No weird reverb on Over and Over. The live version is warmer—and the instrumental jam at the end is powerful. This rehearsal for “The Ledge” sounds like they are un-weirding the song, singing it straight as the zany but entirely charming rockabilly number it truly is.
