Good question,
And which album did the tribute band choose their songs from?

I personally don't know the Thimble version, I don't have it, and I don't think I ever heard it, so I can't answer that question. bigtikidude wrote:
Both, whatever sounded the best. Here you go, Jeff: THE BREEZE AND I (‘73) (One note: we did use the slightly different chord progression from the '64 version of High Voltage, though the rest of the song came from the '73 version - so, it's a bit of a hybrid.) —Ivan |

Ivan, the Jesters tribute was just great! (I heard it on KFJC.) It was also interesting to hear in your interview afterwards that the songs on the '64 LP are sped up. I never would have known since I wouldn't have dared to try playing along to them. Rossmossis wrote:

Thank you, Simon, I'm glad to hear that! It was such a blast to do! A real privilege to play with those three guys, too.

I think Zak had talked about some of this, Maybe Warren remembers some of what Zak had posted. —Jeff(bigtikidude) |

Bump —Jeff(bigtikidude) |
Yeah, that was one of the main reasons why we went with the '73 versions for most of the songs, just to make it easier on ourselves in terms of learning the songs (having them in the right keys). But I do think that in many cases the '73 versions were a bit better, too, sounding better and played better. The arrangements often also somehow sound more fully fleshed out, too. I really hope we get to find out the story behind the '73 release at some point - why did it happen, where did those recordings come from, why they weren't released in the '60s, etc. One of the final, enduring mysteries of the first wave of surf music!Please visit our friends in the surf music community:
