Fruit....again

["gordon" <dwilhelmi@ti...co.uk>]

Lot's of 'no's' for Fruit, but isn't it subjective?I'm listening to 
Daughter Movie, I think it stands up, but if the release as a whole is 
less than it should be, I wonder why.
It does, after all, include the work of John Stapleton, and I reckon I 
only caught his contribution a couple of times *live*,so it is enervating 
to be reminded of the Effect via this issue and the comments within this 
forum.
Perhaps the observation someone made that this Effect contributed a 
seamless nature to the live experience provides the key to why so many 
find Fruit disappointing ; 
the seams are embossed, and the best live recordings of anyone are those 
in which the seams don't even appear, because the recording captures one 
performance,warts an' all.
I cite Humble Pie's 'Performance' . Actually editing two nights at the 
Fillmore, it retains the pure character of the performance by leaving in 
all the amore between songs.(awright!).
Isuppose the only way to cure this situation is to try again.
Another gig is the answer of course; Play it good , play it loud,
record it, issue it, and if we still ain't satisfied, at least we will 
have had the opportunity to be there again !

take your freedoms deep inside....let them advantage you
