Hello Rocksmith fans!
Welcome to the second incarnation of the 70s Mix Pack!
As revealed last week @PeterFrampton will make his Rocksmith debut with the very “not live” rendition of Do You Feel Like We Do (Frampton’s Camel – 1973). Another new artist joining the library will be Jim Croce’s Time In A Bottle (You Don’t Mess Around with Jim – 1972). Last but not least, a returning artist @ThinLizzy_ returns with Cowboy Song (Jailbreak 1976)
This is a pretty interesting 70s pack for me as it pretty much solidifies @UbisoftStudioSF’s stance on licensing live content. I guess this means we won’t be getting I Want You To Want Me (Live from Budokan) if Cheap Trick Song Pack, happens…
- Jim Croce “Time In A Bottle” – Capo Required [Lead] – [XBL] / Steam
- Peter Frampton “Do You Feel Like We Do” – [XBL] / Steam
- Thin Lizzy “Cowboy Song” – Eb Standard – [XBL] / Steam
I’m sure you were expecting Thin Lizzy to be in Eb, right?

Are you excited for this incarnation of the 70s Mix? Or did you prefer the first one? Are you looking forward to the searing guitar/bass work of Cowboy Song? I’ve always preferred the Supersuckers cover myself… Let us know!
Sad to see the 70s pass by again without any input for George Clinton and the other P-funk all-stars. Continuing to keep hope alive.
Glad to see that Jim Croce show up though.
The bass chart for Do You Feel Like We Do is classic early 70s bass. IT’S AWESOME!!!! More, please.
It illustrates why so much of modern rock sucks. It gots no bass!
A definite buy. Love every song. A little bummed about Do You Feel is not live but hey its Peter Frampton. Now we need a song pack for both Croce and Frampton.
Oh my God, this is an awesome pack. Any haters can quietly go f**k themselves.
To shamelessly rip off Saturday Night Live: “Guess what? I got a fever and the only prescription… IS MORE TALK BOX!!!”
if I find the Time I will probably get Do you feel like a Cowboy…
In a bottle?
The studio version of Do You Feel Like We Do is tight. I’ll get that one and see about the rest.
To be honest, studio vs live is the difference between purchasing or not for me. It’s so lethargic and stale, and the chart isn’t as fun.
Does anyone know what motivation Ubi could have for having a “stance” on live tracks?
I focus on the bass line and the studio version of Do You Feel Like We Do has a good bass line. The live version is hard to focus on. I think the song meanders so much live that the bass player gets bored. Or, maybe he just had a Meh moment
The crowd sound effects in game would probably clash with the recorded crowd. I use the sound effect to judge my performance during game play when I can’t see how many misses I am getting, so any live version would throw me.
Does kind of suck. I know we hinted at this topic back in April. The live version of No Woman No Cry is majestic compared to the album version.
I’ll pick up the Thin Lizzy song. Would have loved to pick up the Frampton track, but it is a pretty cup of tea on the studio version, so I’ll have to skip it. The last song is great, but doesn’t feature an exciting bass part, and as the guitar is unlearnable for me, I’ll skip that too.
I’d wait for the play throughs. I’ve learned from the play throughs that Phil Lynoot has some great bass lines in some songs. The problem for me is his tone. It makes his playing……subtle where as my ears are tuned to a more solid bass tone.
Phil Lynoot is the bass player in the cover band Fat Elizabeth. He is not to be confused with Phil Lynott.
Sure, if you want to believe that Phil Lynott is actually dead.
Oh how I wish he wasn’t. I think Phil was one of the greatest talents of the 20th century. I could listen to Thin Lizzy all day long. RS can add every song in the band’s catalog and I’d still want more!!
