    " New Live Simon Apple Album (finally) Released!                            

    Official Bootleg #3 - Live at Chaplin's, Spring City, PA (June 22, 2007)

    It's available now at CD Baby:
    http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/simonapple

    This is a digital-only release (no physical CD's). 

    This 3rd installment of the "Official Bootleg" series features the full
    5-piece live band, and is probably one of the best shows that was recorded during this time. It includes 8 songs from River To The Sea, one song from the Apples To Apples Archives album, and 4 'fun' cover songs: Pretzel Logic (Steely Dan), Scenes From An Italian Restaurant (Billy Joel), How Sweet It Is (James Taylor/Marvin Gaye), and a brief impromptu comical rendition of
    Low Rider (War). It also features some extended improvisational jams (including a 15 minute version of 'A Way Inside').

    Track list:
    Pretzel Logic
    The Paper Said
    Significance
    For Every Loss
    Leap Of Faith
    Weight Of The World
    Scenes From An Italian Restaurant
    River To The Sea
    Hold Me
    A Way Inside
    A Lot Of Hope
    Low Rider
    How Sweet It Is"
