Had a Dat live?

by George Harris last modified Apr 11, 2010 05:07 PM

Question: Hi Gman! I'd like to know if there is any version of Had a Dat live. I found a bootleg "Dog gone blues" that I thought I could find it but I was wrong. This song (live) really exists? You know where I can find it? Thank you!

Answer:  Well, I always thought that the one on the "Sensimilla 86 -96" boot was a "live" recording because it says so on the back cover, but then I heard it & I realized it was the same as the "SHS" one.

And then, also, Miguel says in "STLE" how they recorded "Had a DAT" and "Chick on my tip"- "Live to tape" at Cal State University Dominguez Hills ... So, I guess that means that the track was recorded "live" and not in parts or overdubbed.

So, There's only one version that is released ...

However, on some of the cassette releases, "Had a DAT" sounds a little different. Here, check this out!!

Plus, as far as I know, they never played it "Live" in Concert; unfortunately.

I hope this helps.

Peace,
GMan
