    THE BEST cover version of Patti Smith's Dancing Barefoot! I recorded this off an LP from 1988. There are a couple of pops and crackles, but that's okay. It's not an LP without them. I was lucky enough to see The Feelies in concert on February 23, 1990 at Max's On Broadway in Fells Point (Baltimore), Maryland. They performed two shows that night and I'm glad I saw the second show because they didn't play Dancing Barefoot during the first show. What a night!!

    When I was in HS in the 80s this was a radio-only 45 rpm and almost impossible to find. You had to hope your local used record shop had a good relationship with the local progressive rock radio station. I used to lose my sh*t every time it was played and crank it way the hell up. Once file sharing sites like Napster made tracks like this available, it was THE first song file I downloaded, and it had a skip in it. Did not care. It was clean in every other way, and I still listen to it to this day, skip and all.

    Great cover of the Patti Smith original. Better than the original by a wide margin, IMO.
    One of the clerks at a record store I used go to in high school in the mid 80s told me this song was made available only to radio stations when it was released, and not the general public. Before the internet it was almost impossible to get a hold of it. One of the bands' best performances on record. Why they made it so hard to get is a mystery to me.

    Saw The Feelies open for Lou Reed on the New York Tour in 1989. They gave us a Feelies cassette at the door with this, Higher Ground, and What Goes On. Never saw any of those songs available anywhere but youtube. Lost the cassette years ago.

    I have never heard this song before ten minutes ago. I listened to Patti Smith's version first (for the first time) and then I immediately found this one on youtube minutes later. Different styles, this one is blissful, however i prefer Patti's. About to go further into the Feelie's catalog tho!

It definitely sounded EXACTLY like this. The guitar sound was incredible!! I was standing literally 6 inches from the band - front row of course!!

    There are a lot of covers of this song. U2 did it in '89, and that version was included in the soundtrack to Two Girls and a Guy. Simple Minds has a decent cover of it too.

    Patti Smith's original is potentially as beautiful as this Feelies version but isn't because it's spoiled by the 80's drum production. As usual the Feelies have an ear for what's very good and make it brilliant. The same is true of their version of Love Tractor's "Fun To Be Happy".

    Who is the vocalist? It doesn't sound like Brenda! She sang at a higher register. Have always loved this enigmatic band since I saw them open for REM in Buffalo 1985. Best live was Boston's Paradise early 1990 or late 1989. Wish they used her singing more! She slides in so perfectly here! No knock on Glenn but he could force his vocals and they could have used her. But what makes this band a precious jewel is their determination to do it in their zig-zag quirkiness, often only playing near Haledon NJ on holidays when the paint store was closed, often changing their name or members. Must have made marketing types nuts! So who is the vocalist? Compare her to Speed the Plow, where Brenda sings. Not the same. Thanks for posting this. I'd been searching for it for a while...
