The Midnight Cafe Mix #2 – It’s All Right

I no longer have this mix on my hard drive. One day I’ll try to remake it.

My goal was to do a mix every month and here it is the middle of March and I’m just getting my second one out. Truth is I had this one ready at the end of February but kept forgetting to post it. Once again this is a pretty random mix. These aren’t the greatest bootleg songs of all time. They aren’t the best performances by these artists nor even the best versions of these songs. Its just a bunch of songs that I like, put together for fun.

The transitions should be a little better this time than last, though I’m still learning how to edit the MP3s.

1. “Where the Streets Have No Name” – U2
1987.05.15 – Rutherford, NJ

U2 at the height of their powers. I always loved this song as the opener for The Joshua Tree and it works really well opening this mix.

2. “Good Lovin'” – The Grateful Dead
1978.04.12 – Durham, NC

Not my favorite period for the Dead, nor my favorite cover song, but they do a really nice rockin’ version here.

3. “One More Cup of Coffee” – Bob Dylan
1993.11.16 – New York, NY

From the infamous Supperclub shows. The all acoustic version knocks some of the menace out of this song, but the excellent playing more than makes up for it.

4. “Wings for Wheels” – Bruce Springsteen
1975.02.05 – Bryn Mawr PA

An early rendition of “Thunder Road.” Its fun to catch the various differences between this and its “official” version.

5. “Fred Jones Part 2” – Ben Folds
2005.12.29 – XM Radio

Slowing things down a bit comes this ballad from Ben Folds.

6. “Mission in the Rain” – Jerry Garcia Band
1989.01.28 – San Francisco, CA

I’m usually not a fan of this song, but Jerry’s got a nice solo in it which is followed by some interesting stuff by Melvin Seals. It starts off really slow and soft but it cooks up eventually.

7. “Breakdown” – Tom Petty
1999.04.23 – Hamburg, Germany

Tom Petty gets things rocking again. I really like the little vocal rave up at the end.

8. “Sweet Jane” – Lou Reed
1974.05.14 – Stockholm, Sweden

Holy moly is Lou on fire here. The whole band just smokes.

9. “Heroes” David Bowie
2003.11.22 – Dublin, Ireland

The first bit of this is clipped but its well worth the slight error there to hear the rest of it.

10. “Vanlose Stairway” – Van Morrison
1983.07.03

It doesn’t get any smoother than to have Van take us away on the Vanlose Stairway.

Show Notes (thanks to Five Horizons/TwoFeetThick):
Excellent show with the opening songs totally rocked out. Band looks really happy and playing great. ‘Oceans’ is a beautiful opener and ‘In Hiding’ is one of the finest versions played. ‘Nothingman’ is introduced as a song about a man who “not only couldn’t change the world … he couldn’t even take care of himself.” ‘Institutionalized’ is a Suicidal Tendencies cover (“I’m not crazy, you’re the one who’s crazy … institution.”) ‘Fuckin’ Up’ is a total surprise! Great crowd.

Note from the original uploader: There is some audible distortion at the start of Come Talk To Me due to overloaded vocal mics. This gets better starting at around 3:30
into the track, and the mix improves even more shortly after that.

In the half of Solsbury Hill a group of people forces Peter to stay! Peter with calm voice says to the crowd: “As you can act in this way? The entire thing that we are making this evening regards the respect of the others”
Shortly afterwards music leaves again.

– This is an old song I wrote a while back when I was in my protest period.
I’m still in that period actually. (before Masters Of War)
– Here’s an old song right here, Tom and I are gonna sing for you.
I think it was first recorded by Lefty Frizzell.
(before I Forgot More Than You’ll Ever Know)
– Ricky Nelson did a lot of my songs so I wanna do one of his.
This is called Lonesome Town. (plays Lonesome Town) Thank you. Thank you Ricky.
– Thank you. All right I wanna thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing
me up tonight. If there’s a better band that’s ever played with me I don’t
know the one. Anyway, on the keyboards, Benmont Tench.
On the drums, Stan Lynch.
On the lead guitar, Michael Campbell.
On the bass guitar, Howie Epstein I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty,
a gentleman of the highest order. (before Like A Rolling Stone)
– All right, thank you, we …. We’re gonna sing Happy Birthday now to somebody.
Tom got all these songs that the audience always sings. I don’t have any.
So this is mine. Anyway, we wanna sing Happy Birthday to a very special person
who’s here tonight. I didn’t get her a present so I wanna sing Happy Birthday
that’s gonna be my present. Her name is Madelyn.
– All right. This song is Rock Me Momma, Don’t You Know Your Daddy Wants To Rock.
