  • That was brilliant. I am confuzzed by the bigstar tag tho. That was the POSIES yes? Great rendition of what really is a tough arrangement. Not a song I would ever feel I had the competence to cover.

  • @alexandermorison No, that is Big Star, playing Big Star songs at a Big Star show.

    Jon & Ken from The Posies were in the band along with original members Alex & Jody. It is Jon singing on this song, but it's still Big Star.

  • @suzymills Actually it is a Chris Bell solo song from his album "I am the cosmos" so technically Big Star is covering it even though Chris Bell use to be in the band.

  • @gnuorder yes, I know the origins of the song and the history.

    But, the question was about whether the band playing were Big Star or not. I was simply making the point that the band in that incarnation was indeed Big Star.

  • the posies were incredible.

  • What do you mean 'were'. They still are!

  • It's such a shame that Chris Bell was only 27 when he died. Jon Auer is very good, but it would be nice to have Chris Bell sing it.

  • damn...that song give me chills every single time I hear it - even with Jon singing it instead of Chris.

  • @alexandermorison dont be confused or worried. i am the cosmos is my saying. i was lstening to chris bell's beautific perfection and looked for something like this on the net and found this. not bad. slow but good. god i wish folks made it to 28.

  • I wonder why alex never sang this.

  • bell really wears his heart on his sleeve here-gotta take my hat off to him-it's quite embarrassing in a way-but i still love/admire the song

  • bell really wears his heart on his sleeve here- gotta take my hat to him- full marks

  • @suzymills Thanks for that.

  • RIP

  • @suzymills Thank you for your reply. Didn't Chris Bell and Alex Chilton fall out?
