I’ve been on a steady diet of Alejandro Escovedo’s Real Animal as I begin finalizing my year end list of favorite records. Last week I shared Alejandro’s take on the Velvet Underground classic “Pale Blue Eyes.” Yesterday, with thanks to Largehearted Boy, I was directed to Alejandro Escovedo’s performance at The Troubadour in West Hollywood from September 9th, 2008.

Seeing that the show closes with a cover of The Rolling Stones “Best Of Burden” (an all-time favorite song of mine) I just had to share that, along with the David Bowie cover below.
