Hunters and Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me(live )

[12Volts]

Best version - that tour was brilliant

[chomolungma108]

saw this live upstairs @ the seaview ballroom stkilda in 84 or 85... not forgotten it yet!

the slow versions might have played better to the pop market but the passion of the experience is in this version

...met my mrs at the espy a few years later....walking home with her that night is not a ballad memory!

I wish I'd lived in Australia in 1984 - but I was on the other side of the world.

This is great - so much closer to the emotions that spurred the need to write this song.

[tabutu1]

Interesting how the song just more slower, reflective & more inclined towards being a solo performance as the years went past.

[LantaGem]

Can't believe this only has 5000 views :( Such a universal and timeless song! (as the likes of Eddie Vedder, Neil Finn and 20 million Aussies know so well)

Up till 83-84, I'd only heard the equally fantastic "Talking to a Stranger". But then I saw the live version of TYAAM on some ABC-TV music doco, and there was just something about the song that struck a chord with me, pardon the pun ;)

[tritty84]

yeah baby

[suzytnz]

hey thx for that version - I agree for anyone who saw H&C live in the early days the raw emotion was why you never forgot the song

[mattkk]

Makes me think of my first love....I will never forget.

[vibrarob]

agreed - best version, emotional, chaotic. They kept trying to re-record it but it always missed the rawness of emotion it needs that they get live.

[mattkk]

Best version..Later versions were over produced. always makes me remember when I was sixteen

[tanyakaybennett]

Too good. The End.

Hey Chepickle

This is one of my favorite songs along with all of the Dockers stuff....

Thanks for the input.
