Hey Guys. Here is another video I recorded at the open rehearsal. I again apologize for the fuzzy/shaky camera work.

Open Rehearsal Video-Walking In The Dark

thanks so much for filming this! i really love 'Walking in The Dark', particularly the recent solo 10-4 versions i've heard (the 10-4 All version is especially awesome). I've always thought it was strange that TM have had this amazing song for over 20 years, yet never performed it live in all that time, and Kristin hadn't even attempted to play it solo until last year. Too bad it seems a bit too tricky to pull off live with a band, as evidenced by the video. So i think you just may have captured an important historical moment, the one and only TM performance EVER of 'Walking in the Dark'.
I'm hoping i will be proven wrong and TM will decide rehearse this a bunch more times to iron out all the kinks and then start adding it to their setlist by the time of the spring tour. the song definitely has as much potential for greatness as anything Kristin wrote in the 80's, and i do hear moments of greatness in this early rehearsal.

Dear Throwing Muses: This song has been reborn! Please don't abandon it. Kristin's new 10-4 orchestration is totally transformative, way beyond the novelty of "hey, let me play it with a guitar." The end result is a lot smoother, less choppy than the original (which is a great song, so the "chop" isn't meant to be overly critical), even more bluesy. As yellOwSky says, there is a ton of potential in this song - it isn't just nostalgia. Keep it on the list.
