Re: Don't Give Up

Hi,

about a week ago Jodie asked about a version of Don't Give Up with
Sinead O'Connor. Strange phenomena: Yesterday I found a Peter Gabriel
bootleg called "So Alive" (by "Manic Monster Music", MMM03) that has
a version of DGU with Tracy Chapman (no recording source is given) and
another with Sinead O'Connor. The liner notes for this one say 
"recorded in Den Haag, May 1991" (but I think the only statement we can
trust is what's printed on the back cover: "This recording is not
authorized by the artist").
The version with Tracy Chapman is really interesting, cause her voice
is quite different from Kate's. But IMHO she sounds a bit too timid,
only once or twice she really shows what her voice can do.
I like the version with Sinead better, though it's not that perfect either.
If only I had a better recording of the live version with Kate.

bye,
Rolf
