Re: (TV) The dB's in Hoboken

Wow, I would have loved to have seen that. "I Thought" was ostensibly the
first dB's single, although Holsapple had not joined the band, and Lloyd does
just about everything -- wrote, produced, and plays all (?) instruments on the
track, even though it sounds very early-dB's-ish. I believe Lloyd said he
originally recorded it as a solo single, but being under contract to Elektra
(this is 1978, after all) chose to have Chris Stamey put on a new vocal --
thus the first dB's single. Would love to hear Lloyd's original vocal on the
track.

This is also why this song never appears on dB's compilations -- and
why I would have loved to have heard them perform it.

in Hoboken
 
Saw the dB's at Maxwells lastnight, they were amazing. I was with
my friend Deerfrance and during the set Chris Stamey said "we only play this
when Deerfrance is in the audience, and she is tonight". They proceeded to do
the Lloyd penned " I Thought You Wanted to Know" citing that Richard was one
of the originators of jangly pop. I don't know if he was being sarcastic or
not, I think not. --------------
