these days live

SomethingToBelieveIn · #1 05-25-2005, 10:48 AM

This is my favourite BJ Album and I have just started to compile the entire album live. Of course I dont know if all these songs have been performed live, and Im guessing they havnt, but id accept demos even.

So far I have These Days from Johannesburg 1996, Lie to Me from 1996, Something for the pain from the OWN cd, and Something to Believe in.. also from the OWN cd...

If anyone knows how to find more on the net, or actually has some id greatly appreciate it if you could help me out. Im willing to accept anything from the album even if I have it already because I'll listen for the best possible version.

The Live from London DVD contains some songs, but I have no idea how to rip the sound from it, and also the TLFR bonus cd contains Diamond Ring.. same problem again. Once again any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I can be emailed or contacted on messenger: nathanskinner34@hotmail.com

You should find some help for ripping audio from DVD.

As far as I know Heart's breaking even and If that's what it takes are the only 2 songs from these days that weren't played live at one point or another.
I could be wrong though.

Unfortunately those songs have never been played live in concert.

Aloha !

The best versions live from the These Days album in my opinion:

1.Hey God - November 10, 1995 Oympic Park, Melbourne, Australia
This version is much better than the one from the Live From London DVD, it's longer and harder.

2.Something For The Pain - November 4, 1995, River Plate Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina
They could never get this song right when playing it live in my opinion, but this is the best version there is. It's again, harder than the one on the live album, and has better vocals.

3.This Ain't A Love Song - May 27 1995, Weserstadium, Bremen, Germany
The ending with Jon's singing over Richie's guitar only is better than on Live From London, when he realizes that the crowd loves it he gives a much better effort.

4.These Days - November 4, 1995, River Plate Stadium, Buenos Aires, Aregentina
Better than the Johannesburg version, better vocals and I've got the feeling that the song goes slightly faster and is therefore more powerfull, but that could be me.

5.Lie To Me - March 22, 1996, Taratata TV Show, France
The only soundboard version that exists, as I remember from the top of my head. It's much slower than the album version, a bit too slow that it starts to drag a bit, but it's overall a good performance.

6.Damned - May 19, 1996, Yokohama, Yokohama Stadium, Japan
Very fast. It contains elements of If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want To Be Right) which makes the part after the solo much better.

7.My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms - May 19, 1996, Yokohama, Yokohama Stadium, Japan
This is also one of those songs they could never right when playing live. Because the studio version contains too many guitarparts played by Richie I think, they could not copy the things live. It's also very hard for Jon to sing, and this is the only soundboard there exists. There are better performances but they're in audience.

8.(It's Hard) Letting You Go - December 1, 1995, ?, Johannesburg, South Africa
Very good, it sounds a bit like the way they played it before These Days was released.

9.Hearts Breaking Even - Never played live.

10.Something To Believe In - May 19, 1996, Yokohama, Yokohama Stadium, Japan
Powerful vocals, for the rest it's almost a copy of the song in the studio.

11.If That's What It Takes - Never played live.

12.Diamond Ring - Most versions during the actual These Days tour were a capella, and only a few electric versions are available from the Here, There And Everywhere Tour. If you're looking for a good acoustic version, take the one from then TLFR DVD.

13.All I Want Is Everything - No soundboard recording exists, and the song is again one of those songs that didn't work live. Jon's vocals are never powerful enough to deliver the same performance live as he did in the studio.

14.Bitter Wine - Never played live.

Salaam Aleikum,

Sebastiaan, would you consider all these recording of the songs to be soundboard quality? Or are some of them good audience recordings?

With These days being my favourite album, I might start to look to try and get these recordings some how.

I´m not he but they´re soundboard quality. Some of the tracks he mentioned were b-sides on singles, some were aired on radio and some shown on tv. Correct Bremen date is 27.5 1995 and Yokohama 19.5 1996.

Supersonic · #9 05-26-2005, 12:40 PM

Aloha !

Corrected the dates. I don't know why they were wrong though, I typed it over from my own files.

Anyway, thanks Stut.

i'd say the best version of these days was the johannesburg gig. the solo was fantastic and the vocals were immense. as for hey god, i'd go for the one they played at the mtv (?) awards in 1996; that had stacks of power and gnarly playing.
