As perfect as the studio versions of his songs are, I get a thrill from the live versions because they are more free, and he stretches out with his fluid musicality. And you see amazing things like the bass player effortlessly move all the way to the top of the neck at 2:20. I don't pity that he originally recorded those songs with a very high tenor voice, and he's gotten older- but only when he speaks and shouts does it sound lower than it was back in 1965.
And this one is fantastic, because you just get Stevie stripped down to his musical force, without all the other layers on top of things.
Inshallah as a 3 minute jazz impression, inspired by the Brazilian movie Orfeu Negro
Original tracks from the film, from the unbeatable Montreux Jazz fest, one of my top Brazilian songs ever
And the same guy again:
VINCEROOOOOOOOOOOooooooooOOO!
Metallica does Charlie Brown. Sad but true (no, i dont think so, i love both-- but they flub pretty badly doing this)
