Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.
Last time: Moby to New Order
Sometimes, when you're hunting down candidates for links in the cover chain, live performances bail you out of a cul-de-sac. So it is today, as we go all the way back to Milan in June 1982, for New Order's live rendition of When I'm With You.
I don't know abut you but that sounds darker and more urgent than the Sparks version, almost like being with you is not a good thing. By contrast, Sparks' original, taken from their 1980 album Jive, feels an altogether more chipper affair.
Next time: not massive chew-sets, but in that ballpark...
