Next release from this tour, I'd like to hear The Long Goodbye and Cross My Heart. I don't know quite why, but Cross My Heart always struck me as a sequel to Tougher Than The Rest.
And on the subject of acknowledging and appreciating things, these last three releases have me loving "Light of Day" again! I loved the damn thing when I was 16, but got really tired of it somewhere down the road. So I'm happy about that and looking forward to the next one - if only it was from Shea Stadium...
Anyway, I feel like this right now regarding the song:
I've started doing this thing with Archive releases now where I'm listening to select tracks randomly rather than replaying the full show. I think since Friday/Saturday I have listened to the full thing again - multiple times in fact - just not in the order it's presented.
"Roll of the Dice" is my most revisited. "Take me to Heaven, Bobby!"
@Louisa I like the 'trend' these 92-93 tour releases have taken with me. June 24th, '93 felt weird to the ear initially, like something was off about it; I met July 25th, '92, honestly, with a lot of resentment - I read a bit of my review back and thought it was canny negative; and now with this December 13th '92 release I feel like I've truly accepted this touring band and really enjoy hearing them play.
I think my new favourite thing about this show is Bruce's "aagh!" when they balls up the "Roll of the Dice" intro - not to be confused with the dodgy sounding one in "Leap of Faith".
Moments like that also leads me to believe why Roy was retained. Bruce needed someone in that new Band who he knew wouldn't be flustered by missteps and would be able to work around them. Considering how essential piano is to the music too, it makes loads of sense to me.
@Mario Brega Roy is such a brilliant musician, we're so lucky he decided to dedicate his professional life to music, despite having a college degree. So many outstanding contributions that it's absolutely pointless listing them....
Yes its the first version i've heard ..... But i love the studio version of Real World ..... particularly the bells...
