    I really enjoy the fact that Yarn plays covers of songs. They seem to be big music fans in general and when a song grabs them, they just want to play it. Their blog shows that and of the shows I've seen, they seem to do a cover per night. Also very cool that it's not the same cover every night like that Down In A Hole dirge that Ryan overplayed.

    At my first show they did Oh My Sweet Carolina just for us Ryan fan taper dudes and Knockin' On Heaven's Door, at the next they did Friend Of The Devil, Last Friday they did a sweet job with Neil's Helpless and on Saturday they did Lovelight.

    One cover per show is a sweet format~

    I'd love to hear them do a Dylan tune.

    btw...my Lovelight was stellar!!!

    Oh man, I hope somebody taped that. Trevor usually runs his recorder so I'd dig hearing that.

    Any song they do works for me original or cover. I have heard them do I know you rider and Dead Flowers along with various other covers. My friend Laurel has heard them do Every Rose has its thorn. I would love to hear them do a striped down country gospel version of the Counting Crows song Rain King.

    Heartache off of the CD version of Lowell George's Thanks I'll Eat It Here would be splendid!

    I love Yarn's cover of the Weight by the Band. Trevors vocals are spot on.

    Oh man, there's so many live recordings I need to get my hands on. At some point, a cover compilation will be mandatory ;)

    Lovin the covers, especially the GD ones... diggin all of them, listened to love light the other day and that's no exception, excellent rendition!

    Hope they keep them coming, I like the diversity as well of throwing in a random cover or two, helps individualise the show.

    I was just listening to a mix Kees sent me.....and I want to hear...

    Little Feat - Fat Man in the Bathtub. I think they would do a amazing job with that song.

    It's almost as if someone was goofing off at work, going through every show on the archive looking for covers.

    Lol!

    I had just played disc 2 of 9/11/09 which starts out with Standin.

    STILL shaking my head at Primitive Radio Gods!
  25.  
    I'M shaking my head at the Tiger version of Standing Outside a Phonebooth.....just amazing. I love the covers they choose, the fact that they never do them for too long and that they let us tape them. Just listening through this afternoon with the lyrics up. Blake makes a couple minute changes and doesn't do the last verse but it's really a terrific song. Below is the Tiger version minus all the chorus stuff:

    (I been downhearted baby
    I been down- I been downhearted baby
    Ever since the day we met
    Ever since the day we met

    Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
    Moonlight shines on comic books
    And superstars in magazines
    An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
    Her plane takes off from Baltimore
    And touches down on Bourbon Street

    We stay up late and argue all night long
    About a god we've never seen
    But never fails to side with me
    Sunday comes and all the papers say
    Ma Teresa's joined the mob
    And happy with her full time job

    Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
    Does summer come for everyone?
    Can humans do as prophets say?
    And if I die before I learn to speak
    Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
    But half asleep?

    cut

    A life is time, they teach us growing up
    The seconds ticking killed us all
    A million years before the fall
    You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
    You swim like lions through the crest
    And bathe yourself on zebra flesh


    Whew what a jammer~added it to hopped's list.

    Saw a cover band over the weekend do Bryan Adams' Run to You - similar to Phonebooth, this is the kind of song that I'd never think to seek out, but if Yarn threw it in the middle of DBMHA (or anything really), it'd be perfect...
  27.  
    "Bryan Adams" and "perfect" in the same sentence?! ;)

    She also put "Bryan Adams" and "never seek out" in the same sentence.

    Take your pick.

    Ha! I was counting on some ribbing for that one - thanks for delivering, RC! :) I figured the sentiment was worth sticking my neck out for! Nice to know tous has my back, though!

    i loved the standing outside a phonebooth in manchester.

    i always go back to pale blue eyes as one of my faves, but alas there are so many...

    Wow, that's an amazing list! Nice job compiling...Just goes to show Yarn's versatility! All the great Bands covered music of people they admire, The Who, The Dead, Stones, etc...I hate it when bands get so hung up on their own stuff and won't do covers...The interpretations of other bands is the spice in the gumbo!!!

    I usually don't suggest covers, but I think Yarn would kick ass with Straight To Hell by Drivin' n Cryin' or Play A Train Song by Todd Snider.

    We actually saw todd snider a couple weeks ago and when he did the train song, I thought to myself that YARN would do a great job on this song! Glad you think so too, hopped!

    hopped, I agree with you. I have been listening to Sturgill Simpson a bunch and I am sure they would do an awesome job on Livin the Dream or Some Days.

    I'd like to hear Sturgill cover a few yarn tunes!

    Certainly shaping up to be lynyrd skynyrd I think. Which I think would be great. Call me the breeze, simple
    Man, then maybe they can pull out a Curtis Lowe....
    Think I'm making the New Years trip to av this year. Haven't done a yarn New Years since 2010 in North Carolina. That was the Band set which was quite amazing. Some good YouTube of that show available. Balck and white footage from pour house....
  46.  
    I'm making the New Year's Eve trip. My first ever Yarn New Year's Eve (I missed one because it was sold out before I got tickets....already have tickets this year).

    They can do the Skynyrd again, it was fantastic. Honestly these guys can do whatever they want, I love it all.

    Didnt realize they did all that skynyrd at Barn Bash. not a bad thing but thats definitely New years prep I think. They did the same with lots of Paul Simon songs at this time of year last year. Especially since Barn Bash kinda invite only. Gonna be great! Got my tix for Martinsville. Nine Hour road trip from CT to see the boys! But like you said.... its all good...
