Remnants... for Fully

My Morning Jacket - Remnants - Rockpalast 7/2/08

[Fully]

Thank you so much, John! It's so very sweet of you to put that up. As far as I know, that's the only video I can find of it. Now if we can just get everyone to beg on the Soundland request thread for them to play it in Nashville. They haven't played it, and my hopes are low that they will. But it doesn't keep me from hoping, so roll callers, I'd really appreciate a little help here.

Well, if it can't be me, I certainly hope it can be you, sister.  I'll tweet for ya, you know I will.  But I don't have much faith in Spontaneous Curation anymore

And they never play this why?

And they never play this why?

Remnants was requested via Spontaneous Curation for Forecastle.  The day after the MMJ set (late afternoon, when we all woke up), I was walking to Waterfront Park from the hotel with Ryan Pickett, MMJ's sound engineer, and asked him about it.  He said the song puts a hurt on Jim's voice more than most other songs, so they have avoided it.  I believe its only been played live a few times- T5 #5, Rockpalast, and one other show.

And I certainly don't want Jim's voice to be strained. But why can't they do like they've done on several other songs and rearrange it in some fashion so that it won't do that. Sing it in a different key or a little lower or whatever they need to do so that they can dust it off and play it sometimes. They've done that with Tonight, I Want to Celebrate, Phone, and They Ran. I'm sure they've done it with others that I can't think of off the top of my head. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this song deserves more exposure. I've accepted that I'm probably never going to hear a dissonant Tonight, I'm Going to Celebrate a la the Heartbreakin' Man EP, and I can accept that the only way I'm ever going to hear Remnants played live is if they change it somehow. Heck, it might make more people like it. I learned when I was requesting it for Forecastle that some people really don't ever want to hear it; however, I'm not the only person that wants to hear this song.

Dang. Anybody happen to have a recording of this?

Not that I can find. 

[Fully]

That would have been a great show to hear.

I'm a big fan of Remnants as well.  I wonder if there is a particular part that causes the strain on Jim's voice.  Seems to me like a variety of other songs that are played would also be  pretty hard on the vocal chords.  At T5 Remnants rocked, and right after the song someone behind me said "Why don't they play that more often?"  I turned around and said that I was wondering the same thing. 

[Fully]

Well, I can officially give up my hope to hear Remnants in Nashville on October 6. That doesn't mean that it isn't still my goal to hear it live one day. APR, you are a lucky man to have heard it one of the three times they've played it.

[rincon]

Well, we got to hear Aluminum Park in LA, the other "hated" heavy metal song off of Evil Urges.

Interesting.......  Aluminum Park is a song I skip every time.   But Remnants I turn up.

[lpkell2145]

There are only 2 songs that I really like and listen to repeatedly off of the EU album and one if them is Remnants. That song just energizes me for some reason. Good song to rock out to. And Jim's vocals are CRAAAZZZY!

There is one way around this... end the show with this song!  The crowd would definitely be walking out of an energy buzz if they did that!!
