Covers Matt Did

[Shiri]

I've been thinking about it and since I haven't been to any of his shows and I'm not really into bootlegs, I have no idea which covers Matt performs on his shows. So I thought it would be cool if we'd make a list of them together.

 

The ones I know of are:

 

1999 (Prince)

Can't Explain (The Who)

Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode)

Isolation (Who sang the original?)

[Guest Prosis]

The three first are, to my knowledge, the only ones...the fourth is not Matthew Good

[anitanium]

matt did 1999?

when when when!?

[josiegross]

i've never heard matt good's version of can't explain. anyone know where i can have a listen?

[Shiri]

Both of 1999 and Can't Explain are on the NF store. That's how I know they exist.

[squall17]

i think im gonna go grab cant explain, dont care too much for prince though

[Guest Prosis]

1999 was done for CFox in...1999 with a bunch of other artists namely Bif Naked, Todd Kerns and Econoline Crush

 

Can't Explain was done during the Avalanche tour in 2003

 

As for Isolation, that song has been branded as the Matthew Good Band since 1999 but it's not them.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

1999 sounds fucking sweet.

[Lorien]

Post Faster! More NF$'s!!!

[Shiri]

It really does sound like Matt though. Are you sure it's not him on Isolation?

[RicardoObviouso]

the first verse on 199 is matt, the rest is other vancouver artists for a 99.3the fox promo

[Jarrod]

i love 1999 and enjoy the silence.

 

 

i LOVE enjoy the silence...

[Dan #2]

he did a riff from Rock You Like A Hurricane with Load Me Up.

 

there was a Bob Dylan song too.

 

Seems to me that there are one or two more.

[Seanathon]

There's a recording of Matt doing Dylan's "you ain't going nowhere", but it's not so much a cover, as it is him singing part of the song, then asking people if they recognize it.

[Guest Prosis]

No it's really not Matt on Isolation

[Ruettiger]

I believe Dave Matthews does Isolation.

[RicardoObviouso]

that interlude makes that recording stands as the best live song i've ever heard.... i love the part where the guy in the crowd says "now this is fucking rock"

[gala_pope]

Somewhere on my computer, I have a short clip of Matt covering Uncle Fucker from the South Park movie.

 

He only does 30 seconds of it, and it's pretty bad quality, though.

[WideEyed]

Back when Matt was touring BM he played Thunderstruck (ACDC) at the ACC.

[Shiri]

So Matt doesn't like doing covers, ah? It seems that even if he does them, it's never the complete song. Only Enjoy The Silence and he even released it, man, he must really like that song. Weird.

It's Matthew Sweet - Isolation (a John Lennon cover)

I don't think it sounds like him at all.

 

 

 

Also, None of the male voices in 1999 sound anything like Matt (at least to me)...

I agree... But in that particular songs, I was almost fooled.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

I think Matt only says like, one line in "1999".

[Shortcut To Moncton]

I think Matt only says like, one line in "1999".

He sings a bit at the end together with the other parties.
