God, I’ll never forget Wrigley 2018 when Ed introduced a song that they very rarely play, getting everyone excited, only to start playing getaway. Jesus.

Re: Song of the Moment: Getaway
just listened to this for the first time in forever - fun bassline but the rest of the music never finds much interesting to do with it except for the screaming alarm at the end and the harsh part in the second verse

Re: Song of the Moment: Getaway
another one that sucks live but i find enjoyment on the album. I hate the production, but BoB at least made the songs seem more interesting? If that makes sense.

Actually think BoB did a terrible job. Lots of guitar stuff going on that just sounds like mush.Strat wrote:another one that sucks live but i find enjoyment on the album. I hate the production, but BoB at least made the songs seem more interesting? If that makes sense.

Re: Song of the Moment: Getaway
yeah, I think there are quite a few songs on L-Bolt that have a lot of interesting things happening getting lost in the mix. Backspacer to a lesser extent (Force of Nature comes to mind -after the first verse)

Re: Song of the Moment: Getaway
Probably my favorite song on Lightning Bolt to be honest. But yeah the production is horrible. Sounds like it was low-quality MP3 except for the vox.

Re: Song of the Moment: Getaway
He actually did it a favor. Any live version illustrates just how bland the song is. There is nothing going on. by BoB mushing it all together and putting on some bells and whistles, it feels more energetic than it actually is. Same thing for Infallible.mikejasond wrote:He tried to mush it to hide how bad it isLeatherhead wrote:Actually think BoB did a terrible job.

So, in that regard, I think BoB did something worth a damn.
