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.

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

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



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.
