The Feelies - Dancing Barefoot

THE BEST cover version of Patti Smith's Dancing Barefoot! I recorded this off an LP from 1988. There are a couple of pops and crackles, but that's okay. It's not an LP without them. I was lucky enough to see The Feelies in concert on February 23, 1990 at Max's On Broadway in Fells Point (Baltimore), Maryland. They performed two shows that night and I'm glad I saw the second show because they didn't play Dancing Barefoot during the first show. What a night!!

Saw the Feelies in Baltimore at Max's on Broadway, tightest band I ever saw, every song EXACTLY like the studio version.  Two drummers!

Me too! If you watch this whole video, I have two set lists, both from that show. The first was from the 7:00 pm show; the second was from the 11:00 show where they played Dancing Barefoot. It definitely sounded EXACTLY like this. The guitar sound was incredible!! I was standing literally 6 inches from the band - front row of course!!

This is by far the best cover of this song out there, better that Patti Smith.

[rachel112263]

I totally agree. Thanks for tuning in.

Great cover of the Patti Smith original. Better than the original by a wide margin, IMO.

One of the clerks at a record store I used go to in high school in the mid 80s told me this song was made available only to radio stations when it was released, and not the general public. Before the internet it was almost impossible to get a hold of it. One of the bands' best performances on record. Why they made it so hard to get is a mystery to me.

This the first time I've heard this cover and I posted it to my Facebook "Tributes" group. Love it!

Wow! I don't know how I didn't know that The Feelies did this. Amazing! My favourite Patti song, too, no questions asked. New Jersey's fastest/tightest/bestest do it justice here. What a great fucking band. Is there a dog of a tune on any of their lp's? Nope.

Twelve string acoustic guitar -- sweet

@ezrametz -Sure was. Lou played NY start to finish, took a break, played a bunch more songs. Good show and a cool old theatre.
