Favourite version of Cowgirl

[luminary]

Currently listening to the version from Cocoon gig in '06 and was smiling and nodding away thinking about how much I love this song.

It still amazes me that it is nearly 15 years old. And in that time there have been so many great mixes and live performances.

So what's your favourite version of Cowgirl?

And I wonder if Rick and Karl have a favourite too?

:)

If Rez-Cowgirl is allowed, then the version that caps off Bootleg Babies is an absolute monster. I think it's from the 1996 Reading Festival.

Cowgirl alone: I Love Techno 98
Cowgirl/Rez together: the ones where the church-organ-like sounds continue while Karl sings an 80s song lyric on top of before the build comes back up. (ie: "next time I fall in love with you it will be forever...") there are 4 or 5 like this and I get goosebumps everytime I hear them.

not sure there's been any remixes that have improved upon the original version... and i still reckon it's the best uw track to dance to!

as for cowgirl/rez - i love the current live version (i've got roundhouse day 1) when the banjo riff mixes in with rez...

oone that starts with the synths really slow, ala Close Encounters .
i think i'd lose my mind if i heard that live.

Good morning,

I was wondering if anybody could point me to where could i buy or obtain any cowgirl/rez remix but without any crowd noise. I tried app store, play store with no luck.

I love this version btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sKTo1G362U

If you're looking for a studio version of Rez/Cowgirl, there's never been one released. Someone on here did create one a while ago though, using the studio versions of Rez and Cowgirl. It's pretty easy to do with an audio editor.

If you're looking for a live version without crowd noise, I think that KCRW one you linked is probably your best bet.

These performances also have a minimal amount of crowd noise mixed in:

1994-04-08 Sound City 94, The Tramway - Glasgow, Scotland
1999-07-30 Fuji Rock Festival - Naeba, Japan
2006-11-11 Creamfields - Buenos Aires, Argentina
2010-08-07 BBC Radio 1’s Ibiza Weekend, Cream @ Privilege - Ibiza, Spain
2010-09-11 We Are One Festival, O2 World - Berlin, Germany

No crowd noise ;)

Part of me wanted to be sarcastic and link the studio version...


Actually on thread topic: lately I've been jamming out to the 2008 i love techno version where rick pulls back basically all instrumentation while karl sings. 05's sofia with the NiN Hurt lyrics at the end and the super distorted guitar at the beginning is also a favorite. the 2002 creamfields with the real tiny touch of "everything, everything, everything' right at the end of it is wonderful. If I had to pick a single fave? the 07 roundhouse/birmingham versions from the LHN discs. The dropping "everything everything everything' in the middle of cowgirl just fells me every single time. Jamming out with that at 40 MPH on my skateboard through a tunnel of hay bales is a moment I'm not about to forget any time soon.

I think that's from Benicassim (2005-08-04).

Seconded and seconded. All-time favouritest track ever by anyone or anything. The slooowwwwww Rez intro is killing me a little on each listen.

[holden]

Such a commonly played track, but it always drives us mental!
Best version is the one you hear live and in person.

I remember hearing the EE version in around 2002, my first exposure to the tracks. Chills!
I'm still a sucker for the dropped beat in cowgirl.
