Needs more cowbell!!

Like the performance vocally speaking, but as has been said, the meaning of the song can't really be conveyed in a setting such as this (i.e. multiple singer essentially taking a line each)

Hmmm, totally lost the entire meaning of this song.

You have to watch the musical and keep in mind that it was written when Vietnam was going on. I think this was controversial piece and also banned at some point.

I recommend either looking at some of the videos online or renting the musical. It explains the song a lot

I wasn't saying that I lost the total meaning of the song, I was saying that this performance lost the total meaning of the song. I have seen the musical on stage several time in several different interpretations and have seen the movie several times. I am fully aware of the meaning behind the song and what is being communicated through the lyrics.

Oh, I read into that wrong then. And yeah, I think it was just for performance sake anyways. I don't think they were trying to capture the meaning of the song. If they were.... >_> well idunno

Not a big fan of all the vocal riffing. "The Flesh Failures" is a pretty raw and unapologetic bearing of the soul about a movement's miserable failure, and you kind of lose that message when you add in the "look how good I can sing" riffing. I'm pretty sure that's the very reason the original producers didn't want to cast your typical music theatre actors in 1967.
