scott Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Man! This was great, reading about the guys during the tour. I'm 17 years late to the show, but I'm enjoying the heck out of reading new things about the band and EC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 With You In My Life Money Down Rose Coloured Glasses Studio version of I Can Remember...song itself isn't a clunker but production is a bit clunky to me. Live versions are transcendent and glorious and we're blessed that they exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave from Equinox Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Money Down, hands down. With You In My Life (it's like When I'm 64 but with trumpets and tuba instead of clarinets and bass clarinet!) Goin' Nowhere Tonight (but I do like the bridge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I LOVE "With You In My Life"....I skipped it back in the day, but learned to love it sometime probably in the last 20 years. Lot of stuff going on and it´s all brought together to create a fun and melodious little gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I think arrangement, production, and musicianship have a lot to do with how we react to a song. I've heard mediocre songs done with the magical touch and they are outstanding. I've heard great songs let down with weak treatment. Which one is the clunker? I've heard Money Down was done a lot different (tempo, etc.) on the demo and the record version let it down. Au contraire, Party's Over just drones on in the demo, but the production number kicks butt! I think Dave's writing improved with each successive album. Wally had hit material weaved into every album. Eric is well, Eric- he's on the 'no clunker' list! So, 6 pages into this thread and I still haven't made a clunker list hahahahahahha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
