One in the Same

[spence]

I've combed the archives looking for a good live version to download for this one and all I've found is from back in 2004.  Is that it?  This lil' gem needs more love for sure.

I show it being played 18 times total.   Not enough I agree.   Love this song on a hot sunny day.

2 in 2003, 15 of them were in 2004 and then Terminal 5

Several of the performances in 2004 were actually from the first Monsters of Folk tour.

A lot of them are available on recording but I only show two of them available on archive.org.

One from Philly on June 5th, 2004   (show with M. Ward and Dr. Dog!)
One from Pittsburgh on June 8th, 2004  (with Dr. Dog)

At that moment I'd know
Just how close we could be
And though it always was mine
It always seemed new to me

Interesting, good info.  I did settle on the 2004 show, one of those on archive was pretty good quality.  When you say a lot of them are available on recording, where is a good place to look?  I'm also searching for a Chills.  There was only one on archive from Knoxville and it was poor quality, you can barely hear it. 

I created a playlist of live versions of the songs, mostly from the official bootlegs available, but wanted to try and get all the originals as well.  I used the official or other soundboard covers and so far I have a 104 different songs.

I keep a record of shows that are on archive and shows that have recordings from other locations.   I don't know exactly where they are available but I have them all.   These are the ones I have.   I think the Kleine Zaal but I haven't listened to them all recently.   I can send them your way when I get a chance.....

And that Chills from Knoxville is the only one I have as well.    I can't believe there is not one decent version of it out there!

Cool.
The only two LP songs I didn't find anywhere are If It Smashes Down and If All Else Fails.  I assume Smashes was only played at T5, I've seen the youtube and also saw the video for If All Else Fails at Paradiso 2011.  Is there a recording of Paradiso anywhere other than the youtube video?

IF there was a taping of Paradiso, I'm pretty sure I'd have it... and I don't.  I do have the video and can do a decent rip.  I'll report back.
