I watched the audience the whole show, singing along, swaying their arms, devil horns and what not, and during those four tracks, there was hardly any movement. Some were singing along. Some were dancing because they are classic tracks, but I know, and I could just feel that the rest of the crowd, besides myself, felt they just had no purpose. It was like an intermission. We came to see the Coop and his own brand of rock and roll, and during that time, we want Alice songs. I mean, sure, "Hello, Hooray" is a cover song, but he made it that song his own. It was wasn't very well known until the Coop made it a killer track. The band changed it to their own style. The four tracks he performed, he didn't own, they were well known, and the original artists performed them better. Usually what makes a song a classic is not only the song itself, but the sound that original band created for it. Alice basically tried to emulate them. I understand it was a homage to his old drinking buddies. But I feel it's a waste of valuable time, unless you are hanging with the band warming up and you are having a few beers. Years ago, Lemmy said when I asked him if he would ever cover a Hendrix track, he said "Why should I?" It's already been done at it's best."SickThings wrote:The covers seemed to be very well-received in Cincinnati. The crowd was really into them.
