ninetynights: nights 65 & 66

combine toghether nights 65 & 66, and you'll have two-minutes of Until the day is done live in Dublin. This song is one of the "old" ones; part of it has been written by Peter Buck during the "Automatic for the people" era. check out the snippet @ www.remaccelerate.com. it seems it will be soon joined by a few other previews

ninetynights: nights 63 & 64

Living well is the best revenge was born during the 2005 tour, at least its chorus (night 63).
It's interesting to note how many songs that ended up to be on Accelerate are taken from the recent past (not only Living well, but also DJ and Until the day is done - which Peter once played during a radio show in 2004 or 2005 - ).
if they decided to give also a chance to On the fly, we would have had half an album of "old" songs (to be more precise, ATS era songs).
so I wonder: why bashing all the ats-related stuff ?
the same people who did so in the past, are now referring to Living well as (one of) the best new songs. Living well was born in the ATS era.
night 64 is another live take of the song, which sounds absolutely great

ninetynights: nights 61 & 62

night 61 is one of the most enjoyable so far: a minute of Living well is the best revenge live in Dublin. reviewers pick the first track of Accelerate as the best on the album. from what was heard in Dublin, certainly you can say this is one of the best in the bunch (standing there with accelerate, horse to water, houston).
night 62 is about having a hit single (a top ten single), and how much this is futile
