I actually think the '97 version of Kettle Whistle is the best version (FU Jasper :wink: ) Personal opinion obviously.
It's OK to be wrong sometimes. :pat:

Ancient Aliens? You've lost me. Anyway, find me a better version of Kettle Whistle that's netter and I'll see if your clouded musical judgement is worth a rethink :nod:

The two versions that I enjoy the most is one from a show where Perry keeps saying "Oh yeah!!! OH YEAH!!!" and the 4-track demo. That 4-track demo is an absolute beauty... haven't listened to it in probably 3 or 4 years, since I threw all my bootlegs away.

I guess it's hard to compare the two because you're only going on live versions pre '97.

There are a lot of good live versions. I like that Perry changed the yell he'd do during the heavy part every single time they played it.

Do you mean the one where he says "Oh yeah! Flowers. Take it easy. Let's take it easy...."? That's a good one. That might be Chicago...not sure. One of the best and most unique is the one from the Roxy, or at least that's where I think it's from. It's the mostly acoustic one in the acoustic set. It's the first I ever heard. I had a tape from a vinyl boot. I think creep uploaded that recording a couple of years ago. Definitely one of the best JA bootlegs.

*edit*

Maybe it wasn't the Roxy. I dunno. I think the boot might have been called Whole Lotta Love, or it may have been on more than one boot. :hs:

Kettle Whistle is / was simply magnificent. Early Janes versions are easily the best (really dig that Whole Lotta Love one)... the '97 version just sounded a little too polished for me - I still love it whenever i play it though.

Such a shame it was never recorded 1st time around... probably should have been on Ritual (always felt it was better suited to that record than NS) but could quite comfortably have been the opener or a mid-record beauty on what would / could have been the follow-up to Ritual.

I see on twitter that Perry recently suggested it may come back into the live set (as he has mentioned with Of Course too). Good news that they're considering such tunes but bad news if they murder them.

Am i the only one who put Slow Divers on there? What is wrong with you people? That song is easily better than most of Jane's other songs combined.
I think I might put Slow Divers on a list today. Also My Time.


I know some people object to the ubiquity of Jane Says but it's one of my favourites. Lovely, drifting melody (and unrhymed lyrics) with the steel drum part which gives it a cinematic feel, like mid-sixties Rolling Stones.
