1. My Second Favorite Version

My favorite is Mott The Hoople.
Well, that's a lie; my favorite is my version!

3. Oh wow! Thanks for letting us hear you! That was awesome!!

Your version is more like the original VU.... speed wise.

I just looked at the VU version on youtube and slowed it down to 0.65 to get to the Cowboy Junkies speed.

(Like you, my brother also plays many instruments and makes recordings in his basement studio. I'm so envious!!)

Thank you so much for sharing that!!

4. Thanks

I did an old-timey piano part because of the lyrics in that first verse. Just seemed to fit.
The song has meaning to me because it's one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar.
After playing piano for 15 years, I added guitar to have an instrument I could carry. This song was one of the first 3 I taught myself.
Here's the first one. (A bit off topic; sorry.)

5. As I listened to that your voice made me think of Quicksilver Messenger Service

So I posted "Fresh Air "

6. Interesting

I'd never have made that connection.

2. IIRC, the recording of that album was quite unorthodox.

There was no overdubbing, mixing, or multitracking whatsoever on The Trinity Session (1988). They cut the record on a single very expensive stereo microphone, a Calrec Soundfield, directly to a Sony F1/Betamax digital recorder (an early version of DAT).

My understanding is that Eric Clapton's Unplugged (1992) was made in a similar way (direct to DAT), but lately I can't find anything about how the record was actually cut.
