[Listen] Dinosaur Jr. - "I’ve Been Waiting For You" (Neil Young Cover)
Back in 1988 the likes of The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth,Nick Cave, Pixies and Dinosaur Jr were enrolled to record covers of Neil Young tracks for the compilation: The Bridge: A Tribute to Neil Young. At the time Dinosaur Jr laid down two tracks, one of which, "Lotta Love", made it onto the final release. The other recording however was destined to be lost forever. Or so it seemed, as Lou Barlow has re-discovered the disregarded tape and we can now enjoy the cover of "I've Been Waiting For You" courtesy of the good peeps at Slicing Up Eyeballs.
Speaking of his discovery Lou said: "I found the cassette of this stuff while home for the holidays… it hasn’t aged well, not the condition of the tape (sounds whooshy + chewed), not the performance of "I’ve Been Waiting For You"… it ain’t great, but it’s RARE." Check out the super rare cut below and travel back to the 80's once more.
