Day 25 - The Man Who Sold The World
Play a cover song that may be more well know than the original
Wow this was harder than I thought. Lots of examples but most of of what I have has already been played. Since I made this challenge I can cheat on it.
David Bowie - Is It Any Wonder ep - The Man Who Sold The World (Live Eno Mix - 1997)
So I am playing the song that inspired todays prompt, but with a twist. When recorded in 1970, this song went no where even though it is the title track from the album (changed from the original title Metrobolist). It was first a hit for Lulu (#3 in 1973), but the Nirvana version made it even more famous after Cobain’s suicide in 1994.
David rarely did the song live, though did an amazing performance of it on Saturday Night Live in 1979. David took the song back, so to speak, in 1995, totally stripping it down and rebuilding it as a trip-hop song, performing it live on the Outside and Earthling tours. This is the reworked version that stayed in his set for over 5 years before reverting back to the more ‘rock’ version on later tours like Reality.
