John Stewart - Lost Her In The Sun/Queen Of Hollywood High

[bannahbanana]

John Stewart one of the most talented .RIP

[g4lt]

He sounds a LOT better with a banjo as counterpoint ;P

[CraigG1960]

I saw him in Liverpool on this tour. Fantastic, wonderful concert, very moving.

[pappy15445]

do you have the original studio version of lost her in the sun?

[TheJerzeejeff]

@pappy15445 The studio version is from the 1979 album "Bombs Away Dream Babies" (with Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac). I think she does backing vocals for this song on the studio version. Also this song was covered by Nanci Griffith on her 2001 "Clock Without Hands" CD. I actually like her version a bit better than John Stewart's (as much as I hate to admit it)

[ronradwood]

Sadly, John Stewart died in January 2008. A lot of his music is around on CD and MP3 downloads and well worth seeking out.

love and peace!

[wileile1952]

one of the best american singer song writer i have ever listenrd to

[coolsouthernrain75]

This guy's brother was a member of "We Five", the group tht recorded "You were on my mind."

[northernlitez1]

Anyone have the original recording of this? Its alot different

[enialbsitruc]

@northernlitez1

You are correct! I have this album on vinyl and it's my favorite song on it. Whatever happened to this guy?

[atrotroa]

I prefer the studio version, but nevertheless good to hear this song again.

[bpenda94]

who else came here looking for the comedian?

John was a musical genius is so many ways. I had the pleasure of seeing him and meeting him many times in the 1970's and 80's. His shows were always experience. He transcended rock and folk with his own style that would mesmerize his audiences as a storyteller and incredible musician. This clip is a prime example of his stage presence. Only thing missing are the fabulous harmonies of Buffy Ford. Rock on forever John.; you are missed

[countrynuno]

great

[DaveWollenberg]

'Lost' hit #18 AC, #34 pop in Billboard. God bless! RIP, John.

[pappy154451956]

great post --but I wish someone would post the original lost her in the sun by itself

[coolsouthernrain75]

@pappy154451956 .....It used to be on but it was removed about six months ago.I'd like to see it again as well.

[n0manland]

Reminds me of Johnny Cash when I hear this.

[northernlitez1]

@n0manland 

[northernlitez1]

@n0manland Ditto!

[northernlitez1]

@n0manland Agreed! Original is sooooo much better

[turquoiseeyes13579]

John Stewart was such a great talent and should be better known than he is today.

[954cudaman]

@turquoiseeyes13579 Yes, you are totally correct & it is unfortunate that he was not better known but at least fans such as yourself, me, & many others discovered & can appreciate his true musical genius. There are a multitude of popular but not highly known artists such as he - I`m glad to have known his music & feel unfortunate for the others who never did.

[pappy154451956]

great song but i like the original recording of his a bit better ..still great though.

[clarissaNaz]

This is definately favorite-worthy! Great stuff! Wish I could have seen him in person just once.

[KitJR50]

John at his best - mixing rock and folk as only he could. What a talent and a popularly unknown secret in the music world.

[erinn144]

Wow! Thanks! does anyone have the single version of Lost Her in the Sun?

[tealduck32]

It used to be on YouTube but they took it off not too long ago. It was a great video as well.

[calvintoronto]

I'll second that .... can someone post it if they have it? darkman??? : )

[calvintoronto]

Actually, if you go to the site imeem d o t c o m you can easily find it. Choose the 3:34 version, which is the original.

[erinn144]

Thanks!!

[cowhanson]

@erinn144... Look for the album on EBay

[washingtontriofan]

I miss John so much. Thank You for the great post

[kitnewton]

Many thanks for posting this....a great talent, gone too soon

[timbo96]

I was there!! Sadly that night,John was being an arrogant preachy ratbag, banging on about landmines as though it was the Audiences fault they'd been planted.

The Music was great,though!!

[dorkus54]

Was this at McCabe's in Los Angeles? I saw him there once a long time ago. For those who never saw him on stage, pity. One of the best shows you could see...

[LateNightBanjo]

I loved John's work for years, but never got to see him live. Your posting of this is a good gift. Thanks.

[john9944]

Great post. I loved JS and his music. I think everyone who loved John hated Gold, just like John did. My favorite song is either the Queen of Hollywood High or July You're a Woman. But, they are all great. Miss you man. I hope you are at peace. John

[jwtosh]

I'mn not sure John "hated" Gold as much as he felt it ironic that song would be his claim to fame.

[b658460]

I liked Gold when it came out. Still do. It brings back a time and place on the California coast that I treasure. It was not John's best work. But it was never a bad song.

[Darkman100x]

Thanks for all comments. I'll post more tracks in the next few weeks.

[johnsheane]

Love this song. He looks like he lived without drugs/alcohol.

[jkj1927]

If you videoed the whole show, please post some more. Many thanks for this extract.

[AF100d]

My man....All of JS work is legendary at this point,,,,Thank you so much for your posting this clip.......larry/buffalo

[saint536]

Two great songs,wonderfully captured. Thank you.

[bobbradley]

My brother and I (along with my mate Noel) filmed this John Stewart gig with his permission. Video equipment was hastily pulled together for the date and our inexperience shows in some cheesy camera shots. Still, the sound was (and still is) great because we used a stereo pair of PZM microphones stuck to the walls. Noel and H were on the cameras and I did the live vision mix. It started my brother off on a 20 year career in video production so a great night all round! Bob.
