Yeah, BT & Doughty do Never Gonna Come Back Down, my favorite song of

How is it?

I`ve only listened once so far. Nothing can top Never Gonna Come Back
Down.

> > Richard Ashcroft - Alone with Everybody promo sampler
>
> Thoughts?

I`d already heard the whole album. It`s got its moments, Ashcroft`s a
great singer but the songs themselves aren`t there like on Urban Hymns. It`s
almost worth it for his voice, but nothing touches anything on Urban Hymns.

Here goes - George Drakoulias produced the Jayhawks and also the
Black Crowes. Brendan O'Brian was the engineer on the Black
Crowes' 'Southern Harmony and Musical Companion'. O'Brian also
mixed records for Brad who are a Pearl Jam spin-off project.
Pearl Jam shared a fan club single with REM.

(I confess, I used allmusic.com to fill in one of these links!)

She was playing at the Arches in Glasgow the night after I saw the
Jayhawks there. I was tempted, but I couldn't face driving back up
there on the Wednesday.

Hell no. I've had them both for years. I'm trading them (for some
Beach Boys 'Smile' sessions.) and I transferred them onto CDR.
Thought I'd listen to them at the same time!

I've got about another 15 shows from 1985 - and my first ever
bootleg from Helsinki - though which I haven't had time to listen to
yet, let alone add to the webpage.

Bravo! I couldn't have even started with this one.

I'm just playing Reckoning as I type (to listen to the Mike bits
following Ron's posting about it). What an *excellent* album it is to
be sure. I don't think Michael's vocals were ever recorded better
than here.

afaik, they have never played in helsinki. :-(

the only r.e.m. show in finland was in 1989 in Provinssirock, which is a
rock festival located in Seinäjoki (a town 360 km from helsinki).

back then i hadn't even heard about r.e.m. and didn't go there. but this is
probably more information that you wanted to know.
