Same with "Bleed To Love Her" - The SYW version is not near as good as on "The Dance". Cold, cold cold......

Lindsey didn't do Stevie any favors by arranging RTTG or "Destiny Rules" by beginning cold (acoustically) with no rhythm instruments layered underneath. They sounded metallic and devoid of any warmth.
SG is just as horribly sped up on GOS1 as it is on SYW. there are many more differences from one to the other live version than from GOS1 to SYW version. none of the versions are any good though, at least not to my taste.

BTLH on both GOS1 and on SYW is gorgeous. there is no bad versions of BTLH, and he did tons of them , including bunch of different live versions.

Destiny Rules is a gorgeous song because of that underlying guitar and that ending outro. that's if you can live through the awful vocals somehow. it's my favorite SN song on SYW.
