is there a recording of THAT (or any other Goldsmith covers) floating around?
A quick check tells me I have seven Naked City shows on CD where they play Goldsmith's main title theme from THE LIST OF ADRIAN MESSENGER.On the first one,10/20/89 Bimhuis Amsterdam, Zorn makes reference to how the movie changed his life when he saw it as a kid. That's an all film score show where the group is joined by David Weinstein, Carol Emmanuel, Cyro Baptista. If I understand Zorn's remarks, that's the first time for them to play the piece. They also play it during these sets: 11/03/89 Bremen, Germany 12/01/89 possibly Durham 12/31/89 at the old Puck Building in NYC 04/03/90 Manheim, Germany 04/27/91 Washington, DC 09/17/93 the aforementioned early show at the Knit's Zorn retrospective So there are quite a few recordings of their cover of the theme floating around. I have 30+ hours of Naked City shows and there are quite a few I haven't documented setlists for, so I could be missing some. I dig their soundtrack covers more than the Beach Boys, Live Skull, or DNA covers since they stretch into uncharted territory. I don't think there's even a legit CD of Goldsmith's LIST... score out there.
