R.E.M. – Radio Free Europe / So. Central Rain

3 Comments

A bit over 40 years ago (!), R.E.M. made their national television debut on Letterman. I don't know how common it was then, but it's cool he gave them two songs.

Rolling Stones – Shattered

Some Girls was probably the last great Rolling Stones album and being the Stones, it had a mix of standard rock, disco, and even punk with the song Shattered. This version absolutely rocks and really shows how much of a showman Jaggar was and that the Stones could still throw down. There’s a lot of crappy, drug addled live versions of this song (including on SNL which I remember watching) from this time period but this performance is sublime, I’m glad I found it.

That's a wrap on 1978, or at least a taste. Hope you all enjoyed.

Elvis Costello – Pump it Up

Video 2 Comments

Elvis Costello’s second album This Year’s Model and I’ve probably listened to this album more than any other (or close to Abbey Road and Bee Thousand). Pump it Up has a definite punk sensibility and showed that one can still rock out with an organ. I could have chosen from a dozen great live versions of this song.
