Luka Bloom, David Byrne, Rosanne Cash & Lou Reed - In Their Own Words, The Bottom Line, New York City, 2-19-1993, Late Show

Happy new year, everyone. At first glance, this may look exactly like the last album I posted, but don't be deceived. Yes, the cover is almost exactly the same, but the photo is slightly different. And the title is almost exactly the same, but this is the late show and the other post is the early show. 

What's important is that the performance is totally different. Although the format and the artists are the same, the vast majority of the songs performed are different from the early show. Plus, there's a considerable amount of talking between songs, and all of that is different as well. 

I believe these are the songs that were played in both the early and late shows: "Tentative Decisions," "Ready for This World," "Busload of Faith," "The Wheel," and "I Need Love."

Like the early show, this is an unreleased concert. Also like the early show, it's either a soundboard or an audience boot that sounds better than most soundboards. I'm guessing it's an audience boot due to the fact that the audience noise was much louder than the music or talking on stage, which is typical of audience boots. But seriously, it sounds fantastic. And I fixed all the songs so the music and talking is much louder and the cheering is much quieter. 

Also, there were a few snags with the recording of the early show, such as sections that were missing and had to be filled in from a different source. But there were no such problems with the late show.  The recording was basically flawless.

The one slight disappointment with this concert is that it's shorter than the early show. This is two hours and 14 minutes long. By contrast, the early show is two hours and 47 minutes long. But a lot of that time difference is due to more talking in the early show. The music only is an hour and 16 minutes here, just ten minutes less than the early show.

Like I did with the early show, since there's so much talking - about an hour - I've made two versions of this album, one with the talking and one without. I think the interview sections are quite good and worth listening to at least once. But the music only version has more repeat listening value.

As I mentioned above, the cover photo is almost the same, but different. Clearly, it was taken at almost the exact same time as the other photo. However, there are some differences, such as the way Luka Bloom's head is turned on the far right, or how David Byrne's head is turned on the far left. The other one is in color and this one was only in black and white. But I used the Palette program to colorize it. Then I did some further work in Photoshop to make sure the colors matched those of the other photo.
