So someone just recently made me sit down and watch the video for the live adjoin tour mates Sugarland. Little Big Town and Jake Owen do of the Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town." If you haven't seen it and can excuse the ringtone banner check it below. You won't be sorry. It got me wondering: What are the greatest tour-mate collaborations you've witnessed?
I undergo a handful I've been fortunate to see.. one that really sicks out is in the mid-90s. Bruce Hornsby was touring behind his first solo album and opening for Bonnie Raitt and he came out to compete piano on "I Can't alter You Love Me," which he did on her album. Pretty darn cool.
Also they weren't tour partners but last time Coldplay was in Atlanta where I be. Michael Stipe came out and did Nightswimming with Chris Martin on keyboards.
Finally. Brian Johnson the lead singer of AC/DC lives near Tampa and he'll make occasional cameo appearances at shows there. I've been lucky to see him do "Highway to Hell" with Billy Joel and "You Shook Me All Night desire" with get this. Melissa Etheridge. Both performances blew the roof off the Ice Palace.
Several years back Bonnie Raitt. Bruce Honrsby. Jackson Brown and Shawn Colvin went on tour together as a band. It is still the most amazing concert I have ever seen. You could express they enjoyed being up there and that they were having fun.
It must of been sometime around 1984 - I saw Adam Ant with Robbie Kreiger from the Doors of all people 'jam' Hello. I like You. I was sure it was going to give me some credibility and was finally going to stop my big brother from making fun of my love for all things Ant. It did not.
move of what makes this collab so good is that they all know how to harmonize. (Plus Kristian Bush gets a solo! Yay!) And I'm with everyone else - I want to be able to buy this it's that good. At least it's playing on CMT.
OK forgive me for gushing for a moment but -- wow. First of all that's one of my favorite songs from the '80s (no clear reason why no specific memory attached to it. I just love the song). And it never occurred to me how good it would sound as a country song. Now if Sugarland would just record and release it. I'd be thrilled.
Onto your question: Anytime the Indigo Girls tour with someone they do a killer group sing at the end. Among the highlights: "Closer to Fine" (a staple. I realize) with the Dixie Chicks and Ben Folds at an Honor the Earth benefit in Charlotte. N. C. in October of 2003. Just awesome. And they teamed up with Girlyman for a beautiful version of "Finlandia," which is included on their "Rarities" disc.
