Eve Appreciation Thread

[rumborak]

What?

[wasteland]

Sorry, my brain functionality is greatly diminished after midnight 

[Mebert78]

Goodness gracious, I love this song.  So unbelievably beautiful.  Kevin Moore in top form.

[Dacling]

I also aquired a studio version... I -think- its from Cleaning out the closet

I have always wanted to buy COTC... But it's so expensive 

I got mine from eBay for a sweet $79 after shipping. One of the best purchases I've made!

-Marc.

WHAT my girlfriend got me a copy for Christmas this year for 15 dollars

I just looked it up and wow am I lucky. I had no idea it was worth that much and am now so happy.

[wasteland]

Go and tell her that a man she has never met and most likely never will meet her in her life thinks she is awesome. Let her know this and rejoyce 

[Tunnel Vision]

Goodness gracious, I love this song.  So unbelievably beautiful.

Ditto...I fantasize of DT playing this song live again.

[MoraWintersoul]

Mmmmm yeah.

[wasteland]

It will happen when they will do the much awaited semi acoustic show James has mentioned one or two years ago. It will happen. It will happen. *is convinced*

Yikes!  I got mine free with the fan club membership.


There's the studio version from the single that has Kevin's solo.  Then there's the Limelight show with the samples.  Then there are live versions with John's solo and I THINK there's a studio version with John's solo.

Does this sound right to people?

[The Letter M]

There's the studio version from the single that has Kevin's solo. 

The version that's on "The Silent Man" single is different from the version on Cleaning Out The Closet? Or the same?

Then there's the Limelight show with the samples. 

This is the 3/4/93 show, correct?

Then there are live versions with John's solo and I THINK there's a studio version with John's solo.

Which shows/releases are these from?

-Marc.

I'd have to check if the the versions on the single and the Cleaning Out The Closet version are the same (I can't bloody remember!) They may not be.

The Limelight show is 3/4/93


As far as shows, I'd check the setlists. 

Eve was played as the outro on the Awake tour and when it was played after that (Falling Into Infinity Tour?) John did the solo.  I seem to recall a studio version with John's solo appeared somewhere, but this is the one I'm less sure of and this might be on Cleaning Out The Closet by process of elimination.

Just checked my iPod because I happened to have it hooked up to my laptop at the moment - I have 3 versions of "Eve" on there:
Cleaning Out The Closet (Studio)
3/4/93 Show (Live)
Once In A LIVEtime Outtakes (Live)

Are there any I don't have (besides the TSM Single version, if it's any different from the COTC version)?

-Marc.

TMS and COTC are the same, and there is no other significantly diffent version of the song, as it was not played as a song outside 93 and 98.

[gborland]

I was lucky enough to experience Eve performed live (without samples) as the encore during DT's show in Edinburgh in November 1993. I had obviously never heard it before then.

Utterly beautiful, and an awesome way to finish the show.

Ah! It is true that James threw out his voice so much that the band had to drop Learning To Live from the encores?

So then there are three versions in addition to whatever shows it was in the set.

[Scorpion]

So yeah this is still the best DT instrumental ever.

[wasteland]

It's always the last song I listen, just before sleep.

[jhonvictor]

I just love this song, it would enter on DT's top 20 EASILY. One of the best KM works on DT.

[MoraWintersoul]

Bump. This song still rules. It hasn't been played in the JR era. We should do something about it.

[cyberdrummer]

If they do play it, I just hope JR doesn't embellish KM's parts too much.

[MoraWintersoul]

I trust JR's judgment. If it comes back, I'll love them forever.

[wasteland]

As I said in the chat, this thread must remain in the first page at least until the tour starts, so that the occasional lurker from the band will know that this song is not forgotten, lost and indeed desired.

[SeRoX]

This. Personally I don't like what he did with SDV.

[wasteland]

Please, don't let this thread become another one of them 

[MoraWintersoul]

I'm a big SDV-a-la-Tarrytown fan. It took James and Jordan a minute or so to find the right (but different) feel (from my perspective) but they found a good one. I'm sure John and Jordan could do the same for Eve.

This song can never get too much appreciation, so it's good to keep this thread on the page (I mean, the first one).

Everybody saw what you did there 

Have you all a good performance from the Derek Era    https://grooveshark.com/s/Eve/2GU3Qr?src=5

I know, puns like that are pretty obvious! But then again, there's a bigger wave of poor souls who haven't been introduced to Chroma Key yet and feel like an astronaut in a submarine - if they heard KM's awesome stuff, they would go "ooooh, it's nice to know of this project!"

I love this post.

[darkshade]

Listened to Eve today, along with some other B-sides from the 90s. Powerful tune. Along with Raise The Knife, someone (probably some record executives) should be fined and jailed from keeping those songs off whatever album they were originally planned to be on. At least Eve has a studio version, as opposed to Raise The Knife.

How surprising... I wish everyone could be made happy as easily!

[ariich]

We've had appreciation threads for this song before, but clearly not for quite a while.

I love the track, really gorgeous - simple, but moving.

Now that I've revealed that Eve is my 4th favorite DT song and bosk made a shocking comment on this beautiful masterpiece I think this thread deserves to be bumped again. Weren't we supposed to keep this thread on the first page?
