Nobody Can Dance (Audio CD),16 March, 1999
List price $16.98
Stripped-Down Star / 4
As with "Live", these recordings feature Big Star as a lean and mean post-Bell trio. The rehearsal tapes are fairly well recorded and the performances are loose, raw and even a bit sloppy in places. In some ways, I prefer these versions to those on their two Ardent LP's. Kind of like seeing a beautiful woman without all of her makeup on. The live set includes a great cover of T.Rex's "Baby Strange" as well as Chilton's Box Tops classic "The Letter". The sound quality of the live tracks is fairly rough, but listenable. Just remember, "Nobody can dance, okay."
Song "You Get What You Deserve"
Try to understand what i'm going through
And don't blame for what folks will do
For some of us it's not a bood time
But you're going to get used to
And you'd better resign yourself.
Chorus you get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lotta nerve.
You just do what pleases you
And go on and sign out every move
You're going to get place in the scene
All god's orphans get face in the dream.
Too bad such a drag ow !
So much pain down the drain
And a lot of us ain't got many friends.

One was from San Francisco, another came from Memphis, Tennessee, and the other was from Cleveland, Ohio. And by the time the late sixties drew to a dark and foreboding close, they had very little in common aside from an affinity for rock and roll, and a revulsion to it?s widening array of structures, sounds, and forms. They were all, in a term, rock-classicists, and in their own varying ways ...
