The Ultimate Rarities Thread, [Upd 10/2008] Demos, Outtakes, Remixes, Holiday Gifts & More Options

[J.Sax]

Thread updated October 11, 2008!

For the last year and a half or so, this thread has been the source of a ton of rarities for a lot of people. I had amassed my collection over several years of being active in the LIVE community (sometime in 2001, I believe) and figured I'd compile everything so that the rest of the fans could top of their collections, as well.

It's been a long time since there's been a proper update to this compilation, so for the last few days I've been working hard to gather up some other things I may have missed the first time around and some others I've gotten a hold of since the original post.

I've re-uploaded everything to a brand new MediaFire account and this should make it extremely easy to download what you need. There are still RAR files so that you can download an entire folder of MP3's in a couple of clicks, but if you're only seeking a few tracks, you can now download them individually, as well!

Everything contained in the original post is still here and I've included even more for those who need it! Some of the new additions include:

• the 2000-2005 Holiday Gifts ripped by me, with the exception of 2000 (credit goes to ridley). Videos content IS included for those who want it.
• Collaborations with Adam Kowalczyk, Tricky, The Heads, Neneh Cherry and Stuart Davis (including "Miracle" from Davis's release earlier this year).
• Extended versions of "She" and "Everytime I See Your Face" - NectarDan posted these a few years back and they were included in the original thread, but these are the 320 kbps copies that were included with the purchase of the TDTH Demo Session. I believe they're currently uncirculated.
• MTV Unplugged in full from 1995, posted by NectarDan a while back.
• The Pilgrimage to the Southern Stars release of TDTH. I saw that this was posted elsewhere in the forum, but several tracks were missing. I'm still missing "Sparkle," but "Deeper" is included. (And no, I did not include "Vine Street." It was not a part of the set when I downloaded it from #LiveNet back in the day.)
• My own copy of TDTH's 1998 Demo Session. I believe that they're ripped using the same encoding that dangum used for the MP3's in his thread, but I wanted to include them here for the purpose of completion.
• There are a few more, so make sure you check everything out!

I tried to transcribe the lyrics to Change a couple of months ago. It's pretty tough due to the poor quality recording circulating, but here is what I came up with.
Any comments would be much appeciated:

****

Change

And she said "Help me disappear"
And I said "How am I supposed to do that?"
Don't you know that I didn't disappear
You're gonna have to go a little higher than me for that

(I've got a million new names) instead of I'd hide in the fields in your hands
I'd hide in the rage ?? (something all night?)
You're gonna have to go a little higher than that
I'm sorry but, we're all gonna have to change

Yeah

And she said "Could you help me disappear?"
And I said "How am I supposed to do that?"
Don't you know that we didn't disappear
You'll have to go a little higher than me for that

(I've got a million new names) or I'd hide in a bullet in that gun
I'd hide in the rage of your ?? hand something?
We're all gonna have to go a little higher, both of us tonight
We're all gonna have to change

You're gonna have to go ??? A little higher

Jesus was a carpenter before he got to saviour
Was a fighter for freedom before he got to save us
Mr Rogers was never my neighbour
All these flag wavers are gonna have to change their behaivour
Before we go down
Before we go alone

And she said "Would you help me disappear?"
And I said "I've been right where you are sister"
---(interruption)
And you know, you know that we ???
She said "help me" she said "help me", "help me" Yeah

You're gonna have to go a lot higher!

Jesus was a carpenter before he got to saviour
was a fighter for freedom before he got to save us
Mr Rogers was never my neighbour
All these flag wavers are gonna have to change their behaivour
We're all gonna have to change
It's almost 1999, oh Lord
Before we go down this rocky road
Before we go down

Jesus was a carpenter before he got to saviour
?? ??Mr rogers was a real Fu$%ing neighbour
Mr Rogers was never my neighbour
All these flag wavers are gonna have to change their behaivour

We're all gonna have to change
We're all gonna have to change
We're all gonna have to change
We're all gonna have to change
We're all gonna have to change, change, change
We're all gonna have to change

I highlighted what I hear in red. And thanks. They're fairly spot on.

I will try with Photograph and see what I come up with. Got a new set of headphones!
