@mitchagain Widespread Panic does do a great cover of that.
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?
For me, that song is a live version of "Chest Fever" by Humble Pie. My guess is that it's a vinyl bootleg that is virtually impossible to find. So, if anyone knows anything about this recording, please provide some details. In the meantime, maybe one of us knows something about a rare song and/or recording that some of you are looking for.
Jerry Shirley from Humble Pie: And once they all got there, we set up and played a couple of those Band songs. Music from Big Pink had just come out [in mid-1968], and we were all blown away by it, The first song we ran through – I can clearly remember – was a cover arrangement of their song “We Can Talk”. We had wanted to also do “Chest Fever”, but we didn’t have a Hammond organ yet. |
@thecarpathian I heard it a couple of times on WKLS (96 Rock) in Atlanta back in the 70's. I didn't hear it again until around 15 years ago, when I heard it on KGSR in Austin. So, I'm beginning to think that it was some kind of limited promotional item that only 1970's DJ's would know about. That theory could explain why there is no info on it and why it is so hard to find |
