Did you ever notice that the 90's was full of bands that were far better live than their studio albums. Not that their studio albums were bad or didn't sell, just that a live concert...or even a live recording seems to better for some bands. I guess it was part of that rebellion against electronic music, and pre- pitch adjusted vocal tracked live shows. There are a few bands still like that. It's not better or worse than the reverse (a well produced album, or even an over-produced spectacle concert). Just different. So, here's a few more for the mix tape.
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here....it's probably the only pink floyd song i feel can be taken separately from the rest of its album
Counting Crows - Rain King [live at Heineken Music Hall]...Honestly I could probably put the counting crow's New Amsterdam Live at Heineken Music Hall CD on here. It's all pretty good chill music.
Dave Matthews Band - Stay....just cause. It doesn't need a reason. Because it reminds me of something, someone, a time and a place in my life. I bet it does you, too. I was never what you would call a DMB fan, but this is a good one. Especially live.
Rusted Root - Back to the Earth
O.A.R. - That Was a Crazy Game of Poker

Experience Sound
I am a sound designer & audio engineer. I love to experience sound. I am currently working on a Chill-Out Mix on Napster. I won't list the whole mix here, because some of them are obvious to most people. Perhaps, when it is complete I will post a track list, or a link to it on Napster. In the mean time I will throw out some rare gems that you may have to dig to find. Or at least, I have dug to found them.
Of course everyone's version of chill-out music is different. I tend to be attracted to deep thought provoking music sometimes, and more trance pop music other times.
This is my Deep Thought Chill Out Mix.
Peter Gabriel - "Don't Give Up" (The Original) - There is a live version that is pretty cool, but a slower and less haunting rendition. So, for chillin I choose the original. It has a slightly less whiny effect, the words are clearer, and it is well produced.
U2 - "Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World" - A nice upbeat trip through a Dali-esque musical painting.
Peter Gabriel - "In Your Eyes" (Secret World Live) - normally I would be absolutely true to the original, but the life recording is just as intense but with a slight Caribbean swing that gives the song an upbeat chill factor.
We also have some John Mellencamp Cougar Whatever. Still lookin' for some god Bob Seger. Some other tracks, and we havent even gotten modern yet. Stay tuned for the best chill mix tape to come out of the summer of 'o8.
