Thank you so much Steve! I really appreciate that. I hadn’t listened to that live album in years, mostly because the recording is so bad and there are other versions of all of these songs. But “Candy Says” felt particularly resonant to hear in that context.
I actually really love live “albums” like that where you can hear the audience chatting. Actually that’s a lie, I like the idea of them, and only for artists prior to the 21st century, before recording devices became de rigor and crappy sounding clips like this can be watched and listened to ad nauseum on YouTube. The historical context of picking out what uninterested audience members are talking about loses its appeal when 50 percent of the words are “like.”
Amazing show, Jami! They keep getting better and better. Loved hearing that last live at KC version of “Candy Says.”
