And the version of "Morning Rain" is, to my way of thinking, far superior to the album version. Christine actually sounds like Christine here, whereas on the album she sounds like a woman pretendiing to be a five-hundred pound man. The live version tempo is up and poppy, and the mix never sounds thick like it does on "Future Games." What were the band thinking featuring the version they did: I mean, the piano and Kirwan's guitar on the album's take is excellent, buut that's all. Everything is else is almost distastrous.
