To all CC fans: what is your favorite version of Thunder Road as sung by Adam during Rain-king? Mine is; can’t remember the date but I had it recorded on an old cassette, but alas, I can’t find it. But I remembered Dan’s guitar was heavy, especially when Duritz sang the words “skeleton frames of burnt out Chevrolets.”
Personally I fell in love with the Town Hall version, so that to me is how it's supposed to sound.... but there are many other great versions as well ; )
Once I had a copy of Round Here with Thunder Road as an alt. I recorded it off Napster-this was before of just after RUclips came into existence. Sadly, I don’t have that or many of the versions I boast about because early CD-R’s weren’t perfect like the ones today. Although, on my hard drive I have Goodnight Elizabeth with a bizarre alt, at least to me: postcard from 17. If I find it do you want me to share with you?
Hi, I think I know the one you mean. Is it 2003.04.21_Hara Arena, Dayton, OH? The quality isn't amazing (in the copy I could find at least)..... I'll see if I can upload it now xD
I have listened to this a 100 times, and it is wonderful. Thanks for posting.
absolute brilliant, pure art, he is one of the talented musicians walking on the planet, so deeply transporting a hole world behind ours
Probably the best live album
Oh man this is SO close to the version I had downloaded 10-15 years ago. Love it!
*...*case the promised land". as in checking it out before doing the real thing (like casing a bank before robbing it). beautiful combo of CC and BS!
