Always loved this song. Great memories from the best of times.

No,you're right about the keyboards - the gear that was used and the production was pretty straightforward although very imaginative at that time - like a lot of stuff back then. I'm in a band where we do mostly sixties and seventies stuff. It's just that without the keys on this one, it just doesn't sound right !!!

This is nasty! Maybe the original version was so studio enhanced that it can't reproduced on stage. Especially without the keyboards. Why is West playing the riffs from the Stones' PAINT IT BLACK in this song? It's useless. Felix was the real genius behind the band with West its great guitarist. In the 2003 re-release CD of Nantucket. In it, West tells the story that back in the days of whaling ships, when a whale was harpooned, it would take the ship on a 'NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE' until it died.

OK, anybody understand the "Lay your reeds and drums on my soft sheets" line? 35 years after I first heard it, it still makes no sense and doesn't seem to fit the rest of the song...I miss the keyboards in all the 'modern versions' of Nantucket sleighride... |
