Gypsy appreciation...

I love the backing vocals and piano too. I think this song gets ruined live. It's loses the pristine intrumentation in concert.

I tend to disagree. I think the band plays it beautifully live but the vocalist just can't cut it.

I sort of agree with this, but to me, the studio version is really a great demonstration of beautiful high frequencies that get lost in a live setting such as Mirage and even the lighter Dance version.

And I think the same was true for Hold Me.

Yeah I love the Mirage arrangements. Great backing vocals, a 50's vibe, lots of Wilson sounds, and great keys, guitars, bass and percussion.

Agreed. It was never quite right to my ears no matter what tour, but I could never put my finger on why. But the album version is a masterpiece.
