Lovecats Live

One of the worst versions of Lovecats ever? Could have been ok if Robert had not tried to play the keyboard parts. Anyway, this video is from the Berlin show on Feb. 16th.
(Thanks Sven)

Also, my apologies for falling behind on posting all of the Youtube links for the last couple of shows. I hope to get to that later tonight.

  1. Ok, that is pretty bad...I love the song, and loved when it was worked into Why Can't I Be You at some shows in 1996, but this is just bizarre.....

    Either get keyboards or drop the heavy keyboard songs from the set....

  2. Men,
    Worst news ever ??


    It's Robert doing those parts!!
    and it's just fun
    (this is just the opposite of boring)

    And Porl is doing the guitar parts


    PPffff, those kind of remarks are disappointing


    At least you could give Porl credits for making an Gorgeous new version of HowBeatifulYouAre

    I hear where he's heading to and it's just brilliant.

    This lineup is much more dynamic and creative

    Get used to it !!

  3. Sorry, I meant Robert, not Porl. Yes it's all in fun, but it's still bad. You can't ruin Lovecats like that. : )

  4. Why cant they use a little bit of kayboard.. it doest have to be all or nothing.. you know. Saw them in Sthlm. And after more then 2 hours your getting pretty tired of Porls wish guitar sounds.. But the concert was still great

  5. Not bad at all...just different!!!
    Robert plays a sloppy slide, but it is cool anyway.
    The new line up dropped the keys AND the Fender Bass VI!!! Some songs sound really "thin" without it.
    Blame it on Schecter!!!

  6. I don't mind no keyboards

    this makes this era special

    and it pushes them to refresh the songs !!!!


    Otherways it would always sound the same :)

  8. It seeems like Porl is playing the melody, but we can't hear him on the video, and Bob is just doing "n'importe quoi" on top of that... I could be mistaking of course. Anyway, i think it looks and sound hilarious :)

  10. Technically spoken, it might be the worst version ever. But thats beside the point as others have already expressed!

    I was there and I liked it! neither did they try to create a perfect rendition of the album version nor some "phantastic" alternative one - it was just fun. Robert said something before the song I didn't comprehend, something like 'its saturday but feels like friday'.

    It was a nice surprise. And besides that it somehow captures for me the japanese whispers era: look at the "let's go to bed' video it might be the same "n'importe quoi'. you can't take it serious!

    the only thing to blame is that i could'nt hear porl playing either! In too many songs he was barely audiable.

  12. I thought it was fun. Nice that they can have a laugh sometimes. Let's face it Lovecats is hardly the most serious song.
