Keeps the song fresh, adds variety and gets you more connected with the tune than one recording could. You could find a new favorite version of a song or better yet find that the selection of alternate recordings reflects a larger range of moods. The world wide web is your oyster. In mind right now particularly are Lou Reed's '84 Live in Italy version of Satellite of Love, Helvetia's cover of the Misfits song Hybrid Moments (Helvetia's cover and demo game in general is crazy), MJ Lenderman's take on Knocking on Heaven's Door (Knockin')āMJ also has a stellar live albumāany and all versions of the Weight by the Band but specifically Nina Simone's, the Denzel Curry remix of BALD! by JPEGMAFIA. And any live Dinosaur Jr. Happy listening š»
