There is another live version of Arrowhead, also, but memory is failing me what the source is. Falcon Ridge. Greenwich Village Folk Festival... can't remember offhand. I could check tonight if no one knows offhand. - -jim ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 10:32:09 -0600 (CST) From: Adam Plunkett Subject: Re: [RS] RE: Arrowhead This is possibly my favorite version (though that may because it's the "newest" version I have heard). I like because it is different but still fitting very much into the meaning and atmosphere of the song. By the way, Kerrville releases an insane ammount of live material from their festival. It is worth a look. Like John, I prefer my RS solo though I think Richard does a much better job with other muscians than most in his musical genre. (I prefer him solo but the muscians on SNP and Vuelta worked very well.) A lot of folk-singers/singer-songwriters I like, I feel, ruin their music on album with bland overproduction.

Arrowhead happens to be one of my favorite songs--of all time--but I love this version that Adam found. It has a different vibe from the studio version, and the tempo gives the song a greater sense of urgency than the studio version--closer to the version on Courier, but it seems even more hurried, and in tune (so to speak) with the narrator's running. The piano gives it a kind of a country sound and masks RS' guitar, but the virtuosity is worth it. Great version.
