The Full Rundown Of Tym Morrison's Two Motley Market Concert Live-Streams Last Week!!

As you may know, local classic/hard rock singer/guitarist Tym Morrison played at the Motley Market on Gore Street twice last week: On Friday in a show that had no advance notice publically, and yesterday in a show that had about a day's notice. Making up for his lack of at-home live-streamed concerts last week, Tym had the camera rolling for both of these sets for videos on his YouTube channel, bringing his episode count to 40 as a result, and they are the sole topic of today's post! Helped in this regard: Friday's show (episode #39) clocks in at a whopping 2 hours & 46 minutes, easily a record for this series! We'll address the videos chronologically, but Friday's is embedded at post's end. For the record, Tym acknowledged on his personal Facebook page that this was "kind of a surprise show" and was only "decided that day", hence the abrupt nature. The set proper begins about 4½ minutes in with a cover of The Romantics' "Talking In Your Sleep", albeit with clear audio issues.

Virtually the whole cover is overrun with what appear to be delayed overdubs of the same song, and it gets progressively worse, eventually sounding like a stampede! Thankfully, that problem does not recur. Next, we hear Oasis' "Wonderwall", Journey's "Lights", Tom Petty's "Yer So Bad", Ed Sheeran's "Perfect", Roxette's "Listen To Your Heart", Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive", The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby", Jim Croce's "Time In A Bottle", and Yes' "Owner Of A Lonely Heart". After taking a 10 minute break (remember, this was a live concert), Tym returned with covers of Cheap Trick's "The Flame", Radiohead's "Karma Police", Prince & The Revolution's "When Doves Cry", Supertramp's "The Logical Song", Boston's "Amanda", Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill", Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man", and Toto's "Africa", before playing his Spanish guitar instrumental.

Afterwards, he tackled Aerosmith's "Dream On", Kim Mitchell's "Patio Lanterns", Tommy Tutone's "867-5309/Jenny", Badfinger's "No Matter What", The Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", The Steve Miller Band's "Abracadabra", Billy Joel's "She's Always A Woman", The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love", Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke", Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", The Bangles' "Eternal Flame", The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Fishin' In The Dark", Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed", Journey's "Open Arms", Lonestar's "Amazed", Bryan Adams' "Summer of 69", and finally, Amanda Marshall's "Trust Me (This Is Love)". Well, that was quite a marathon! Tym's singing and guitar work was on point for his standards, and there were lots of familiar songs along with some deeper cuts, though like in his last Motley Market show, his banter with attendees wasn't too extensive. You do get a little more of a view of the Market at the beginning, for what that's worth.

Episode #40 of Tym's live-stream series runs for a more typical 2 hours, though it's not clear whether the show proper was only that long, or if an hour wasn't filmed. In any event, the audio quality is noticeably more muffled compared to Friday's live-stream, for one reason or another. After 4½ minutes of setup again, the filmed set begins with a cover of The Travelling Wilburys' "Handle With Care", but Tym leaves the stage area afterwards to re-angle the camera. His next covers include Alice In Chains' "Down In A Hole", Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble's "Pride & Joy", Cat Stevens' "Wild World", The Jimi Hendrix Experience's "Purple Haze", Collective Soul's "Shine", Led Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues", and Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise", before sandwiching Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead Or Alive" with two Eagles songs ("Hotel California" and "Desperado").

The second half of yesterday's video sees Tym cover The Beatles' "Blackbird", Chicago's "Hard To Say I'm Sorry", Extreme's "More Than Words", Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'", Poison's "Every Rose Has It's Thorn", Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama", Kansas' "Dust In The Wind", Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall", Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline", Abba's "The Winner Takes It All", Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time", Peter Cetera's "Glory of Love", "Africa" again (the set's only repeat song from Friday), and finally, Eric Carmen's "All By Myself". Despite the downgrade in audio quality on day #2, Tym's performances were reliably solid, and the crowd did seem to be more engaged than on Friday (having a day's notice may have helped too.) Tym's crowd banter was almost non-existent early, but he did add a little more in the back half, and "Africa" aside, it was nice to see an almost entirely unique set on the second day! Give both live-streams a watch above and below, and stay tuned for more news this week! Thanks everyone!
