Grovel Burrito #2

[George_Savage]

         All of this talk about covers has me thinking.  They have played dozens of covers over the years.  Even by late '01 when I discovered them, webmaster Ger Potze had put together a "MMJ covers" disc that included some live stuff and some various studio stuff.  
         Since then they've played dozens more, probably.   A lot of the stuff on Ger's site that they reportedly played wasn't taped, though.  I think that 'Jeremy' by Pearl Jam is in that category; at least I've never heard of it.  
          So since it's summer and the median age of this forum is probably less than the age of my daughter (24 and
there's so much more) I am wondering if any of you bored whiz kids want to help me (or just take it over) compile a bunch of covers songs that MMJ has played.  Then we burn them to discs and send them out via torrent and USPS for old fogeys like me :)
          I know for sure that I could probably come up with 15-20 cover songs that they've done that I have recorded or collected.   I haven't collected many MMJ shows in the last two or three years, but I have a fairly good amount from 2002-03: Black Sabbath, Everybody's Talkin', Peaceful, Easy Feelin', How the gods Kill, Never Tear us Apart, Tyrone,
et al.
           Someone was going to attempt to put together a comp disc of the '05 songs played but I don't think that ever got off the ground, and I haven't visited the forum much.  I go through phases and lately it's been Gram, Gram, Gram.   The Neil Young Heart of Gold DVD is also amazing.   Any word on the MMJ DVD?

I can also help put this together.  I put together a covers comp last year but there have been some new ones since then.  I have a pretty rare live version "Dream a Little Dream of Me" that ought to go on the comp, I'll try and get a list together of the covers I have.

I can do that too, but I have a feeling that aMD has everything that I have.  I'll get back at ya next week....

If anyone out there has some covers that I don't, I would love to get them.  We could trade track for track, or work something out.

In a quick glance, the Misfits cover is missing, but I'm sure you have it if you have Bonnaroo from this year.

[aMD]

Thanks, I edited it.

Also...

Rocket Man (Elton John)
** Much more raw than Sandworm Cometh, but given the setting, a bit bitter, in my opinion.
Live at the Planetarium (9/08/01)


And I'm guessing you have this...

Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley)

I may have missed it in here somewhere, but Jim did a Stellar version of Willie's Always on my Mind (I assume it's Willie's, at least that's who I know it by) - also did Billy 1 from the Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid soundtrack on the "Monsters of Folk" tour with M Ward and Bright Eyes, 10/8/04, Ft Worth, TX.

i didn't know about Billy #1.  You gotta hook me up LowDog!

Edit: Or would anyone want to trade me that track for one of the tracks on my list?

Reedit:  Nevermind, I found it.

"Make it with You" from BBC radio 2

"Make it with You" from BBC radio 2

is that from the 11-26-05 show?

is that from the 11-26-05 show?

Yes it is, indeed

[aMD]

cool, then I've got that one too.  I also just found Billy #1 so nevermind my previous grovelling.

How the gods Kill

The Danzig song? Wow...where can I find this one?

[George_Savage]

The Danzig song? Wow...where can I find this one?

Yes, that's the one.   They played it live at the first-ever Alabama show in Birmingham on Sept 4, 2002.  I don't think that's it's a spectacular recording (as none of mine are that good!), but it's listenable.    Jim was hilarious (as usual)
when he said something like "we're really happy to finally be playing here...in the Sunshine State...of Alabama"
               Another cover I remembered that I didn't see listed is Nick Drake's Northern Sky.   They did it in Nashville, 10/8/05.   Does anyone have *that* show?   That's the only MMJ show that I've been to but didn't tape.  I was under the impression that it would be taped by the dude named Nick who taped the 6/20/04 Nashville show.   What about Atlanta and Knoxville 10/7/05 (more groveling)...my recordings of these shows are pretty bad-sounding, especially Knoxville.

while we are grovelling over covers here. I need to grovel for three covers that I don't have that I know (suspect in one case) exist:

1. You're a Big Girl Now
2. Dark End of the Street
3. Hot Burrito #1

You're a Big Girl Now is one of my favorite songs of all time, and hearing jim do it would be unreal.  The other two, I'm sure are fantastic and recorded somewhere.  grovel. grovel.

[corey]

I don't think there is a copy of "Dark End of the Street" in circulation. As far as I know, it was only performed once at that Gram Parsons tribute show. I would die to hear this song performed by Jim.

          I have Jim doing Dark End of the Street from the July 10, 2004 Gram Parsons Tribute, or whatever it was called.  He did Still Feeling Blue, which made the DVD, and DEOTS.
I can send it to Dylan for the compilation.

            It seems like I may have heard this, and if I did then I have it somewhere (this = You're a Big Girl Now) - do you know when he played it and where?

Damn, you've got Dark End! Can't wait to hear it!  You're a Big Girl Now was performed once: September 29, 2005 - The Enterprise (upstairs) - London, UK.  Someone on the forum said that had taped it but weren't going to circulate it becaue they weren't happy with the sound.  I don't care if it sounds like Jim is at the bottom of a hundred foot well, I want to hear it!
