Here's another track from the Features acoustic record release show for Exhibit A. This classic Features track would only be played once more after this (on November 12th, 2005 at Wall Street in Murfreesboro), and this is the newest version of the song that I own.
OTHER VERSIONS
Part two of Acoustic Week. Are you ready to rock?!
The Features "Stagecoach" Live @ Grimey's September 14th, 2004
The entire band went unplugged for their Exhibit A record release show at beloved Nashville music store, Grimey's. The wheezy keyboards, jolly bass and clickity-clack drumming make most all of these tunes downright huggable, and "Stagecoach" is no exception.
I love "Stagecoach."
OTHER VERSIONS
Today’s request comes from me, as this is one of My Top 10 Features Songs. The Features "Dark Room" Live @ Grimey's September 14th, 2004 The history of "Dark Room" was first written about on May 15th, and I can definitely still claim (as I did then) that this is the most beloved Features song. This version, one so adorable you want to put it in your pocket, only backs up my claim. The Features' acoustic record release in-store performance at Grimey's was the first time I'd seen them play acoustically, and I believe it was the only time they had gone unplugged in the three years I had followed them at that point. For all I know, this might have been the first time the band did an acoustic show. If not then maybe the first time they did so with Rollum. The show was very intimate since the record store could only hold maybe forty to fifty people, tops. After opening with "Exhibit A," the band immediately asked for requests. I requested "Dark Room" and, despite never having tried it acoustically before, the band did this version. I love everything about it, from how adorably wheezy the keyboards sound, to how innocent and honest Matt's voice sounds, to the big and jovial bassline to Rollum's stripped down yet still pounding bass drum. It was everything I wanted it to be and I'm so glad they did it. Even the guitar solo, which Parrish tries to help with while Matt figures out how to play it, is great. It's such a fun moment that I'm glad was captured. I've talked about why "Dark Room" is loved by so many other Features fans, but not why it's in my top ten. I consider "Dark Room" to be the "All Day & All Of The Night" to "See You Through's" "You Really Got Me." Both are landmark songs, pure pop perfection and two of my earliest Features loves. But "Dark Room" pushes it even further with that opening riff that travels the entire length of the guitar's fretboard and those so-catchy handclaps. It's another song that's always existed, the Features just channeled it. I remember the first MP3 of the song I downloaded cut off just before the last chorus and blowout at the end of the song. I enjoyed the song and listened to it often, but as soon as I finally heard those last eighteen seconds...I was changed. Rollum's drumming in those last few seconds does things I didn't know humans can do. He hits the bass drum so many times, completely blowing out the song and propelling it to the end. I will never forget hearing that for the first time and immediately e-mailing the file to my friend April, telling her that she wouldn't believe how that song ended. And that's why "Dark Room" is a superb song. A VERSION APPEARS ON: Exhibit A, UK album release (2005) OTHER VERSIONS: Live @ The Red Rose (February 28th, 2003)
