So, as it happens, I actually do have a Tricky bootleg from 1996 that I’d forgotten about! No Children’s Story, unfortunately, but here’s two other covers from this set at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. The oh-so-classique abbreviation of Public Enemy’s “Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos”, which singlehandedly earned enough goodwill that you still get excited to hear each new cover he does, even though eleven years later they’re often bad enough to make you embarrassed on his behalf that you’ve overheard; and a tense take on Eric B. & Rakim’s “Lyrics Of Fury,” which by this time had been released on the Pre-Millennium Tension LP.
