Saturdays I'm going to dedicate to promoting music from Live Shows. I'm always a big fan of covers, so the majority of the songs will be covers, however, if there's a particularly good version of a song I like, it might show up too.
[mp3] Spoon - Johnathan Fisk/Goodnight (2003-07-08)
Spoon played this song to close a show in July 2003. Johnathan Fisk happens to be one of my favourite songs, but the addition of a cover of The Beatles' 'Goodnight' just makes it all the better.
[mp3] Apollo Sunshine - Helter Skelter (2006-03-05)
Apollo Sunshine met at Berklee School of Music (A college that I wanted to go to for a long time). They're one of those bands that is much better live than they are on their CDs, however, their CDs are still good. "I Was On The Moon" is one of my favourite songs. This is another Beatles cover, and one of my favourite Beatles songs.
[mp3] Josh Ritter - Harrisburg (2007-02-11)
Josh Ritter has developed more and more of a following recently, and I have to say I'm one of them. I knew about him a couple years ago, and had a couple his songs, some of which I loved, and some of which I didn't at all. The Animal Years is the album that got everyone talking about him, and I really can't tell you how excited I am about "The History Conquests of Josh Ritter". Harrisburg, off of "Golden Age of Radio" is one of the few songs that I did like in the beginning.
[mp3] Maroon 5 - Highway To Hell (2004-08-21)
Seriously? Who allowed this to happen? Who allowed Maroon 5 to cover Highway To Hell (AC/DC). Even if the girly voiced Adam Levine isn't singing, it doesn't make it much better.
[mp3] The Mountain Goats - The Boys Are Back In Town / Ignition (2007-03-08)

This is probably one of my favourite covers of all time. There's nothing like a complete switch from Thin Lizzy, straight into R. Kelly. The first is a live version with Pony Up! backing up The Mountain Goats. The second is an acoustic version that's a little easier on the ears. Give it a spin.
