Roadhouse Garden appreciation.

I love the push pull bouncy groove of this song. And that guitar riff that brackets the song.

Well, that we know about, anyways. Remember everybody's surprise at the release of Splash.

There is sumthing special about them early Revolution days, though...

I only had this crummy Roadhouse Garden version for years, until I found out there are also rehearsel versions, which blew my pants off.

I am always surprised to hear no one mention the song that is played back to back with it; Our Destiny. Even though I indeed love Roadhouse Garden better than that song, I love the way it segues out of Our Destiny's kickdrum by way of that guitar rif...

Actually, according to Wendy Melvoin the 'two' songs are actually one and the same thing and she's been quoted as saying:

" to my knowledge, it was only ever called 'Roadhouse Garden'

Oh don't get me wrong, I love Our Destiny as well. It appears they go back to back with each other judging from the rehearsals. It's just that when RG kicks in, whoah is it an avante purple groove!

I like it but my fave song from that whole set of unreleased live tracks is his live version of Noon Renedzvous , thats a a stunning track , especially the elongated outro where he sings over and over "sitting in this cafe , waiting on my baby" , wonderful stuff wink
