Melissa Etheridge - Home Concert Covers, Volume 4, Los Angeles, CA, 5-4-2020 to 5-12-2020

For the first couple of months of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, Melissa Etheridge was extremely prolific, doing a home concert nearly every single day. Then, on May 13, 2020, her son Beckett died of issues related to opiod addiction at only 21 years old. She immediately stopped her home concerts to grieve. When she resumed them about a month later, she began doing them less often, and also making them available only with a paid subscription. I don't want to post something here from behind a paywall. So this is the last bunch of songs from when she was still posting everything for free.

As with the previous albums in this series, I've only included the cover versions she did. She also performed lots of originals, but those are available on her albums, and her covers generally have never been released on album. Also like the previous albums, she did some songs solo acoustic. For others, she built up loops that allowed her to play multiple instruments at once. Those usually included her playing the drums, making her sound like a full band.

Furthermore, also like the previous albums, I've created two versions. One version includes her lengthy talking between songs. The other version is just the music. The version with the talking is 59 minutes long. The music only version is 48 minutes long.

I have one more album from this time period this is a show focusing entirely on Neil Diamond songs. In recent months, she has released some songs for free, so I plan on posting some of those eventually.
