@middleclasstool I don't know why that's not embedding. Oh, well.
@elizarde That was rather bouncier than I had anticipated
@middleclasstool So bouncy. So very bouncy.
They toured for that album back in the early aughts, and I caught them at my local haunt. Their set was The Wall in its entirety, from beginning to end, as a country/bluegrass album. It was delightfully weird, and somehow so right.
@elizarde Fun Fact: My last high school girlfriend was in marching band and was a HUGE Floyd fan. One year she actually mapped out a marching choreography for The Wall. The ENTIRE ALBUM.
BitterOldPunk@elizarde @middleclasstool covers better than the original, you say? (Straying from the bluegrass theme cuz I’m a rebel)
Charles Bradley "Changes" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
@BitterOldPunk holy shit that is wonderful
@middleclasstool in a world bursting at the seams with Black Sabbath covers, that one’s near the top
@BitterOldPunk I will admit that I was expecting Bowie and it took me a minute
@middleclasstool Wow.
ETA: And by 'wow' I mean, "Wow, that was amazing, and my day is better for having seen it."
@middleclasstool Another entry into 'not better but different'/'didn't read the assignment but keeps going anyway': I've always been partial to the Love & Rockets version of Ball of Confusion.
Now you've got me down a rabbit hole. Thank you!
