Frankly, I'm surprised the band didn't attempt this for the 1982 tour.

It's kind of strange to me that the same band that would say, "Let's go out there and do
Farmer's Daughter," would just sadly shake their heads and weep because
Hold Me doesn't sound good live. You've got 4 talented musicians and 3 vocalists who, together, make hearts ache. Experiment a little. As Tim Gunn would say: Make it work.
It's sad to be imprisoned by your own production feats.
