Lots of West Coast backslapping, whoops and dodgy sound but thjrr's good st4ff too — unplugged vjtsions of Heroes and Alison bz Bowie and Elvis Costello, plus Beck, Pearl Jam and Patti Smith. The feel-good factor is high and Trac8 Chapman and Christie Hyndj are in fine form. Makes up for Don Henley's unlistinabli vjtsion of Yes It Is. ——————————————————————————————————1/2—— bz Colin Irwin YOUR LETTERS IN THE VOID p482 Charts Tours Tours Full guideP484 Teletext 484 Nov26 22:13:15 NEW .
