About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

This acoustic rendition is something special, it maintains the energy of the electric version and has a unique softness and warmth thet make it wonderful

[@guillermoortega4119]

AWESOME

[@dannyh5937]

One of the best songs of the 90s. A couple of comments talking about it being out of tune, but I think it sounds great.

[@doinok1149]

Copy that 👌

[@karenbustamante2455]

Absolutely!!! Love love love this song. So many memories...

[@charlesmcgilton9591]

Into the infinite musical realm to roam and rock millions more⚡️⚡️✊🤘🏻

[@dinoraptis2352]

1994 💪😊 So nice!

[@leob6]

Not out of tune, sounds great! How do they get that "jangly" guitar sound? And the guy's gritty voice ... a gem!

Slaps

[@andrewjohnston4076]

I can almost smell the hashish

[@telescope3]

Not out of tune. A higher key, five tones higher than usual. Apparently a few tones too high for some ppl's liking.

[@srauenonline]

Love this. The key brings out what is best about this song. This version is the only one I've seen where the brilliance of the performance matches that of the songwriting. Thank you for identifying the key.

[@tuskart]

go somewhere else if you think live versions should sound exactly like engineered versions lol

[@danrunner84]

Love the song. The acoustic version is a train wreck.

[@pierresaint-laurent7927]

Have to disagree, this version stands on its own. Some reasons: 1. really hearing Lowery intimately sing with the despair and 'low' this song deserves; 2. replacing the pathetic guitar solo of the plugged version with this really interesting one; 3. giving this song a very different flavor and 4. this version takes nothing away from the plugged version.

[@kiereluurs1243]

Is this out of tune?

[@Samfrancis0000]

Tuned down an octave. Deliberately

[@joshpadgett4386]

@@Samfrancis0000 no it’s just played in A instead of E

[@TempoDrift1480]

@@Samfrancis0000 If it were possible to be any more incorrect---you couldn't be. This version you're hearing is tuned a perfect 4th higher. The studio version is in the key E major with A being 440. This is being played in the key of A. There is no way to tune a normal scale guitar down a complete octave. You would have to have a baritone with a 27 inch scale.

[@TempoDrift1480]

No it's not out of tune, it's in a different key. What you normally hear is the key of E this is a 4th higher in the key of A. This is otherwise known as transposed.
