black midi - Martin A (John L) - Live BBC 6 Music

An alternate version of John L they played live 5-27-21

I think my brain actually may have just melted. Can't believe how different this is from the album version

[@killme9534]

Honestly wish they had kept some elements from this live to the album. I love Cameron’s new bassline on the third or fourth verse and how much more raw and expressive the guitar feedback sounds here too. Goes to show how talented they can be 🤙

[@killme9534]

@@EllisAudio He was only gone for five months when this live performance was posted. I was more referring to the Cavalcade Era than I was this performance anyways as he still makes it onto two cuts of the album. Even on said cuts, Cameron’s bass playing still stands out wonderfully :D
