Vancouver thing sounds like it was better than the Grammy thing:http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/Neil+Young+tribute+bold+inventive/2583942/story.htmlEspecially this: "Reed would also come back for a killer F***in' Up with Costello and legendary bluesman James "Blood" Ulmer, decibels pushed as high as they would go."!!!

we went to the thursday show and a few highlights for me were emily haines doing " a man needs a maid" and mark kozelek doing "albuquerque" and "powderfinger". never thought i would ever see elvis costello cranking out the "cowgirl in the sand" guitar solos and actually enjoying it. watching/hearing lou and james blood ulmer were also highs for me.
we sat front row too.

Mark Kozelek doing Albuquerque sounds like just about the best thing ever... off to Youtube!

Ok, I only found a version of RHP performing it in '96. Kinda underwhelming, tbh...

Yeah, I love that version -- almost put it on the covers comp, but went with Undisputed Truth's version instead. There'll probably have to be a volume 2! By the way, what's up with covers of Down By The River when in the pre-chorus they're like "sha la la the weather"? That's not in the original is it?

Downloadable, but you get each side as a single mp3. Eventually I'll split them up into tracks...

Recently discovered Prelude's After the Goldrush. More sad a cappella early 70s vibes please.
