On this date in 1999, John Taylor Terroristen played at Yucatan in Santa Barbara. During that time, John played a number of solo gigs with many being in California. Was anyone there? I wonder what the set list was. One thing that I always appreciated when I did see set lists of his is how he played a lot of his new, solo music but wasn’t afraid to bust out a Duran tune or two. Now, he might change things a bit but he embraced his past. Here is an example:
What do you think of his version of this Duran classic?
-A

I can hear much rock and energy, I love the new rearrangement in this direction.
OK, vocals can’t be the same as of Simon (totally forgiven) and he makes it sort of a dramatic vocal interpretation, especially just after the instrumental (i.e. when on the clip you have the two dancers).
Amazing, interesting new JT !
