59: First Variations

First VariationsClassic Panic Songs Get a FaceliftSo, once you get past Harvey’s condescension and, frankly, outright hostility towards Jeff for not “understanding” this week’s theme, this is pretty damn fine episode of The Bluest Tape. We tackle “first variations” of classic songs, including lengthy versions of “Airplane,” “Tallboy,” and “Wondering,” and also slow “Porch Song,” diving deep, especially, into the evolution of a couple of these songs and debating which other short Panic songs could become vehicles for expansion. We will definitely be coming back this way again.Links below go to whole show streams from Panicstream.08 September 1995 - Raleigh, NC - Walnut Creek AmphitheaterHeroes > Impossible > Airplane > Love TractorSource: SBD05 June 1996 - St. Paul, OR - Champoeg State ParkDriving Song > Tallboy > Jam > Driving Song > Breathing SlowSource: SBD27 May 1998 - Mesa, AZ - Mesa AmphitheaterRebirtha > Wondering > Pilgrims > GretaSource: Microtech Geffels21 May 1993 - Atlanta, GA - Fabulous Fox TheatrePorch Song, Pickin’ Up the Pieces > Proving Ground (w/Matt Mundy on mandolin)Source: Nakimichi-CM300/CP1 > DAT Hosted on Acast.
