[Police] Re: Best Live Over Recorded Version Of A Song

8 Jul 2002

      Hi all,

The one which springs instantly to mind is "Low Life".I heard the double 
live album version before the original,and feel that the live one is a huge 
improvement.The original has some nice work from Any in particular,and 
something about Sting's vocals is rather unusual and charming,but the sax 
solo,while good,was drastically improved upon onstage.The whole song loses 
its rough edges (not that rough edges are a bad thing,but for this song the 
smoother feel works better),and the timing seems perfect to me.The 
vocals,though they're very different,are fantastic.:)

While we're on the subject,is anyone aware of other recordings of the song 
apart from the original and the one from the album "Bring On The Night - 
Live"?

In America, a smorgasbord is something you usually find in a casino and is 
a
restaurant where all the food (and almost all kinds of food) is put out on
tables and you serve yourself and eat until you can eat no more.  You
normally leave so full that you are the king of pain.

Hi,
after many people could help me with the "Marco Polo" game I've got
another
question. I've heard a certain word in several American movies and now
just
again in Sex & the City. That's SMORGASBORD. What's that???
Thanks,

I'm from Sweden and we're quite proud of the two Swedish words in the
egnlish language, wich are: "Smorgasbord" and "girdle" (smorgasbord and
gordel in Swedish. I guess the word is quite hard to explain and that's
why
the Swedish word is used instead of an english word. But it's a kind of 
a
bufe with bread and butter and other stuff ;-) If I would translate it
directly it would be sandwich for smorgas and table for bord, so
sandwichtable would be the english word for it (that doesn't exist, why
didn't they think of that?)
I hope that answers the question,
Patrik

Reply-to: mikkel@mzh.dk
Great topic! Let's see if we can't kick some life back into this 
'lurk-mode' list, shall we?
From the top of my head I would say "The Wild Wild Sea".
The studio version is one of my all time favourites and I think they are 
some of the best
lyrics he - or anyone else, for that matter - has ever written.
And still he managed to make it even more magical played live! The version 
on
"Acoustic Live in Newcastle" is a textbook example of dynamics and a group 
of
musicians playing as one entity.
That's as far as I can explain it - the song has always struck a special 
chord within me
that I can't explain. All I know is that listening to live versions of it 
still gives me the
chills!
Anyone else feel the same way about this song, or is it just me?
