Match BR

I don't really like footsteps all that much anymore, but santa cruz is not a good song.

I kinda like it actually. That was one of the better Christmas singles.

[digster]

Ed's usually pretty good at making his folk songs not sound cookie cutter, but not here. Santa Cruz bores the shit out of me.

[Birds in Hell]

Santa Cruz bores the shit out of me.

I don't like Footsteps even a little bit and I'm voting for it here.

HUUUUUURRRR-I DID
WHAT I HUUUUD TO DO

Yeah, I feel the same. "Footsteps" grates on me a bit, but "Santa Cruz" is so bland.

[Kevin Davis]

I love the full-band live version of "Footsteps." Those 2000 versions with the tasteful little guitar solo in the middle, and Eddie's vocal performance dialed back a few notches--fantastic. This and "Ledbetter" were also the songs that introduced me to the very idea of the non-album B-side, and for that they will forever retain a kind of residual mystique for me that no amount of objective criticism shall ever squelch. Plus "Santa Cruz" blows.

the full band versions are nicer

[EJ]

Bridge School 96 is one of my favorite versions of it.

[chewm]

Footsteps is still one of my favorite Ten era songs.
I actually like Santa Cruz, guilty pleasure maybe, but I enjoy it a lot.

[Thejambi]

Footsteps is a great song.

[Strat]

Love footsteps. The full band versions are usually pretty great. My favorite being from Red Rocks 95.

Santa Cruz is nice and i have good memories of it as I was at the show he first played it. Reminds me of a good summer.

Footsteps for the win.


These match ups are making me dig up some tunes I haven't listened to in a while. nice.

[bada]

I'm blanking on the show but my favorite is the one where he says "this is act 3". Zurich 93?

I believe it was Zurich - June 18, 1992. One of my favs.

I still consider Footsteps one of PJ's most boring, overrated songs

I'm sure it feels the same about you.

[bodysnatcher]

I appreciate Footsteps, but never been a fan of the song as a listening experience. Voted for it simply bc of its historical significance in PJ history.

I actually quite like Santa Cruz. It has a few hiccups, but it's a fun one-off
