At the time of the Winter 2005 tour documented by MOTION SICKNESS: LIVE RECORDINGS, Conor Oberst--aka Bright Eyes--was among the most reviled and worshipped artists in indie rock. Fortunately for listeners, hype subsides and MOTION SICKNESS ... Full Descriptionleaves the facts: the Oberst of 2005 was a young man in the midst of crafting an undeniable catalog of good songs, and using a newer, more mature vocal delivery to get them across. Only traces remain here of the cloying ticks of his well-publicized youth, and in their wake is a loose, confident persona that can turn a poetical turn of phrase into a pop mantra better than anyone since you-know-who.
The material is largely devoted to the country-rock album I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING, and keyboardist/trumpeter Nate Wolcott and guitarist Mike Mogis lead the band through the album's standouts--"We Are Nowhere And It's Now" and "Landlocked Blues, for example"--like seasoned pros. The pulse quickens for energetic readings of "Road to Joy" and "When the President Talks to God"--the two closest things Gen Y has to honest-to-goodness political anthems. Oberst shows off his music geek side, too, with great covers of Feist and Elliot Smith. Any haters who aren't appreciators after hearing his take on the latter's "The Biggest Lie" just cannot be reached. For the rest of us, there's a great live album of a band gaining control over their very formidable powers.
Unavailable In the U.S.! Bright Eyes released their third album of 2005, and it was a splendid live collection. Motion Sickness is Conor Oberst and act's first live album from his own label, Team Love. Apart from a smattering of fan favorites and album tracks like 'At The Bottom Of Everything and 'Old Soul Song', the album contains a pair of non-album covers, Elliott Smith’s 'The Biggest Lie' and Fiest’s 'Mushaboom'. Oberst is sticking to his 'indie or die' guns on the album, too, expanding his anti-corporate campaign from avoiding Clear Channel venues! This is for real, and it's stunning and refreshing.

Retreating from the psychedelia of THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST, the Stones released the roots-rock single "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and then the album BEGGAR'S BANQUET. It was hailed as a rock masterpiece, and remains the favorite of many Stones fans.
BEGGAR'S BANQUET played to the Stones' strengths. The ironic lead-off ("Sympathy For The Devil") led many rock-baiters ...

$13.15
Like its 1969 second volume THROUGH THE PAST DARKLY, BIG HITS (HIGH TIDE & GREEN GRASS) is a fine collection of '60s Stones classics, but it's a rather bluesier one. This is exemplified by such rootsy tracks as the redefined Buddy Holly tune "Not Fade Away" and the R&B bounce of Bobby Womack's "It's All Over Now." Not that the group's original songs were lacking in grit ...

Motion Sickness: Live Recordings songs
$27.69 
JOHN LENNON PLASTIC ONO BAND came out at the same time as an album by Lennon's wife Yoko Ono (also titled PLASTIC ONO BAND).
John Lennon's 1970 official solo debut is as remarkable for its startling contrast to the Beatles as it is for the passion and force of its songwriting. Stripped-down, gripping, and emotionally resonant, PLASTIC ONO BAND has little to do with the hook-heavy pop of his early Beatles work, or the psychedelic, word-salad approach of his songs on SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEART'S CLUB BAND and ABBEY ROAD. Instead, this is an album of intensely confessional songs that lay bare the personal demons Lennon was trying to exorcise at the time--the ghosts of fame, family, faith, and individual identity, among them.
The sound of the album is straightforward and hard-hitting. Spare, lean rock arrangements with piano, drums, bass, and guitar frame the songs effectively, letting Lennon's narratives carry the weight. The songs are shot through with bitterness ("I Found Out"), disillusionment ("God"), and regret ("Mother"), ...
| | Jerry Garcia Been All Around This World CD (2004)
Motion Sickness: Live Recordings album
$14.29
Garcia used to perform "I've Been All Around This World" in the Grateful Dead's acoustic sets, and the version included here lives up to that legacy. Freddie Hart's acerbic country waltz "Drink Up and Go Home" gets a suitably wry reading. Things go further afield with folk takes on James Brown ("I'll Go Crazy") and Jimmy Cliff ("Sitting Here in Limbo"), demonstrating the eclecticism that was part and parcel of Garcia's ...

Never one to tread the expected path, Lucinda Williams followed her big breakthrough album, CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD, with a pair of low-key records full of sad, quiet, fragile songs (interrupted by the occasional barn-burner). LIVE @ THE FILLMORE concentrates heavily on those latter two releases, unleashing all the intense, burning emotions that lay at their core, making plain the inherent frisson lurking below the surface ...
