Couldn't have said it better myself! It's like the whole world stops for a brief time and you're whisked away on a mysterious adventure..

If you listen closely with headphones or earbuds, you CAN hear Christine's piano part on the studio version when the entire band kicks in. It's the same as the live verson.

I thought I was the only one! I'm very good at picking apart songs in my head, and I seriously thought I was imagining the piano part. Good to know I'm not completely insane (yet )

Back when they didn't really care about "recreating the recorded version note-for-not" for their live shows, they came up with some really great live versions of songs you'd never expect them to be able to recreate on stage. Now, it's "we gotta hire some people to play ALL the parts on the record". Yawn.

I'm sure when Mama Chris comes back that'll all stop. Or at least they'll dial it back a bit. Its called Live for a reason. I pay to hear the rough, gritty and unpolishedness(not a real word) of live show, not a note-by-note repeat of the album I already own!
