23. The Sky is Crying

The Replacements - For Sale: Live At Maxwell's 1986

Maybe those tears are coming from a Flight Attendant that heard The Mats performing “Waitress In The Sky” dissing aviation stewardess’ everywhere.

That stage looks fun!

Yeah, Desert Daze is my dream festival. I don’t even know if I could tolerate an entire day at a music festival at this point but something about floating in a lake and tripping balls while some face-melting Psych and Drone play live sounds absolutely amazing to me.

Day 22: Sarabande
The Faint - Danse Macabre

In trying to translate what the meaning of sarabande is; I loosely picked out that it is a part of a classical piece that is meant to correlate with a type of dance. Possibly derived from a Spanish dance, so I see it being used all across Europe back in the day. This includes France which would call it a "danse."

Yikes, fell way behind this time

23. The Sky Is Crying

Chris Isaak "Heart Shaped World" (1989 Reprise; 2022 Sun / RSD Essentials reissue)

What happened to you little baby? What happened to you little girl?
She left you out there crying, in your heart shaped world.

I know what love means to you, I love you to.
It hurts too watch her laugh at you, with someone new.
Trouble, trouble......

Trouble..... going round, round, round, round, round.
Big cold sunless skies, tumbling down, down, down, down.

This reissue is just wonderful. This is why I prefer to listen to music on wax instead of digital files when possible... I'll venture out and say this is the best I've ever heard this album. Pressing done at Furnace, plated at RTI and extremely quiet - you wouldn't know this is colored vinyl. They did this fine record justice. Hope San Francisco Days turns out this great too.

17. Layla

So, Clapton blah blah asshole… anyway, Pattie sure seemed irresistible, yeah?

Roxy Music - Siren

18. Get It Together

For some reason this song title immediately made me think of these lyrics

But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

The Doobie Brothers - Minute By Minute

24. American Girl

If you wanted to make the argument that Tom Petty, based on longevity and consistent quality of music, is our greatest American musician, I wouldn't not buy you a beer.

American Girl was the last song Tom Petty played live. This is the video of his last performance. The man was toughing it out, playing with a broken hip, because he loved the fans as much as he loved the music. You can see it in every step.

Thanks for everything, Tom. Still can't believe you're gone.

Back to the drawing board.

EDIT: I think I figured out a way forward.

24. American Girl

Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band - The Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts

Since our Good Uncle is an East Coast night owl he beat me to the punch on Petty’s Live Anthology. Thankfully I have found a path forward. Tom Petty took part in Springsteen’s “No Nukes” concert. He would even sing co-lead with Springsteen, and Jackson Browne on “Stay”

24. American Girl

Tom Petty "Full Moon Fever" (1989 MCA; 2019 reissue)

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Day 23: The Sky Is Crying
The Jayhawks - Hollywood Town Hall

"Sky is crying" makes me think of a rainy day. There's a few songs on here that have that sort of theme....Clouds, Waiting For The Sun, Sister Cry, and Settled Down Like Rain.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Day 24: American Girl
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - S/T

Have to go with Petty as well. I don't think there's a music artist I miss more.

Day 23: “The Sky Is Crying”

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain coming down a sunny day?

Creedence Clearwater Revival - “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” b/w “Hey Tonight”

Day 24: “American Girl”

American Woman, get away from me…

It just just came out for this round of RSD Essentials in august. I got it a few days ago. I was pleasantly surprised at how great it was. I never heard an original but this beats all digital / CD versions I heard before.
