Songs From The Road/Lover Lover Lover
So my mom got Songs From The Road, and I finally downloaded it to my comp.
I was a little off-balance that the song from the Ramat Gan performance they took is Love Love Lover, which I could tell right off the bat was in the first third of the concert, before it picked up. (Then again, as my mom and I wryly agreed, they couldn't possibly take Hallelujah and First We Take Manhattan.)
The distance of an album from a performance turned out to be good for something, though. In front of the stage, that the performers and the crowd didn't lock in place together jarred too much. Like this, though, the details come out: details like the rhythm section going from a single to three layers, and at a second listening the way in which it's been done.
The latin feel off this way of doing the rhythm comes out first, but it wasn't responsible for the oh moment, which is why i'm bothering with this post. If it was only that, then it would've been pretty but not something that corresponds with what's already in the song - and in the song's context. And then it locked, there was the realization that, oh, this is what he's been hearing - maybe listening, maybe in recollection - when he wrote that song.
