I disagree. The first live versions of DR were terrible. Stevies voice was so weak it sounded like a whisper. The only plus about it was that Lindsey was using the acoustic. When they added DR back into the set, he switched to the turner.

I think RTTG had the most potential of all the live songs they did on the tour. If this is what it sounded like on opening night, I can't even imagine how great it would sound by the end of the tour. I think this song totally rocks live. Even with Stevie's bum hip here, she sort of gets into it at the end and the crowd reaction at both the beginning and end is great.

The only thing I remember liking about DR live is the added vocals at the very end. They injected energy. I wish there had been more of those throughout the song.

Yeah, its a GREAT GREAT song. I listen to it all the time on my Ipod (album version). But the live version of RTTG was just great. I was heartbroken when I heard they dropped it.
