WOW! Options

I had no idea that this board still existed!

Actually, I'm kind of surprised that it does. It's sad to see how far from grace the band has fallen in the eyes of many of their biggest fans (myself included) in the past year or so.

Anyhow, I was listening to the alternate version of TSUFL today and started thinking about how much I used to love Live.

Anybody remember me? Did I miss anything here?

You got the CD from Dan last spring like the rest of us. I wouldn't recommend posting it, because I heard Live got wind of this sale and was furious with Dan over it.

Anyway, good to have you back I guess. This place has gone to hell but the only way to get us back on course is to get the real fans back in.

As far as the questions you asked, God Don't Never Change was an old gospel song by Blind Willie Johnson. Live's version sounds absolutely nothing like it, but it is pretty damn good. They played it a few times in place of I Walk the Line, but it soon got scrapped and IWTL was played at every date thereafter.

They also busted out TDAOC and Waitress, but only Waitress stuck around for more than a handful of shows. Mother Earth was played a few times as well, but again was scrapped for Mirror Song at most shows. They definitely pulled out more surprises than they have in a while, but it didn't take long for the setlist to go right back to the usual.

You're right about getting the CD from Dan -- I had completely forgotten about that! Thanks for the advice. I will not be posting the songs here, and I'm glad that you reminded me of that info before I did. Thanks.

I'm anxious to hear GDNC. Do you know where I can find a copy?

I would have killed to see TDAOC live...that's sort of been my holy grail since I started going to Live shows in the late 1990's. I can't believe I missed it. I might actually have to catch the band next time they come around if there's any chance they are pulling out rarities, although the end of your post seems to be pretty pessimistic about that.
