Question about Sarah McLachlan song

A DJ last Christmas played this, and said it was recorded impromptu backstage at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan (which would explain why Sarah cuts off at the end.) Sounds true, does anyone know? Bouncehoper 02:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen was recorded backstage at WPLT Planetfest, December '96. Tyler is playing a suitcase. I have no idea as to why they recorded it or who's idea it was - I assume they'd have to at least have some idea of what they planned to do for both her and them to know the words, what key would work, what harmonies to sing, etc. But it was definately recorded backstage. The cutoff that you may hear on Barenaked For The Holidays (and perhaps what some radio stations might play) is not as cutoff on the original song, however. On the original track, she finishes the phrase "let nothing", as the guitar ends the song. On the album the track is cutoff as she says "let" TheHYPO 07:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am revisiting this comment many years later just to point out that although the Sleeve of the Ladies Room Vol.1 CD on which God Rest Ye was first released indicates that it was recorded backstage at "WPLT Planetfest, December 1996", it appears that there may be a few issues with that credit:

1. It seems that 96.3 FM was known as WHYT until mid-1997 when it got the WPLT callsign from a college station in NY to match their "Planet" branding - this is neither here nor there, but sheds more doubt on the accuracy of the liner.

2. Planetfest took place in August 1996, not December 1996, and it was at Pine Knob: 1 2 and Sarah isn't on the bill for Planetfest.

3. Various articles have the band or Sarah claiming the song was recorded backstage at The Palace at Auburn Hills, which is not where Planetfest was held.

4. Sarah and BNL both played Detroit at a 96.3/WHYT holiday show at the Palace that 'was' at the Palace on December 8, 1996. It was called the Holiday Hootenanny, and is almost certainly the show this was recorded at. They likely just named the wrong radio show when they made up the liners a year later.
