Last night's rehashing of The Section Quartet's CD Release

Last night at The Section Quartet's CD release at The Troubadour was a night of exquisite beauty. On a new label (Decca) with a new disk, these guys just killed it in front of the almost capacity crowd at The Troubadour. Joining them for the evening was, as announced, Linda Perry, Grant Lee Phillips and Sam Phillips and as a special unannounced guest was LA's own favorite, Jon Brion (in some kind of leg brace) who came out early in the show for a rendition of David Bowie's "Life on Mars" with the Section. The show opened up with Sam Phillips coming out and with a personal pocket tape player accompanied herself in a song of devilishly sweet whimsy. Right up afterwards was Grant Lee Phillips who serenaded the crowd with such sincerity it's easy to see why he's such a fixture at Largo. After a brief film interlude by filmmaker Carlos F. Grasso the Section came out and opened up with a rocking rendition of Juicebox. IN-FREAKING-CREDIBLE! Some of the sickening highlight songs from last night were Yeah Yeah Yeah's Phenomena, Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World", Sound Garden's "Black Hole Sun", Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" featuring Linda Perry and Queens of the Stone Age's "No One Knows". Here's some media to immortalize the night: Sam Phillips joining in with the Section Life on Mars with Jon Brion Paranoid Android Heartbreaker with Linda Perry And let me turn your attention to one final thing that was worth mentioning. They covered a now defunct band by the name of Failure and the song was called The Nurse Who Loved Me. Absolutely beautiful. Lets take a listen to them side by side. First Failure playing it live in '97. and let's listen to the Section's Album version: The Section Quartet- The Nurse Who Loved Me
