The Come Guitar Solo... Studio or Live

Live always. Lindsey's songs are a different animal when he does them live. The only song I prefer on the album versus live...GYOW. I'm probably the only person in the world who thinks that though. Heh. I love that he lets the audience "play" his guitar, but the Rumours version is perfection.

GYOW: well, I like the studio version of the SONG better than any live version I've heard...but it's really a misnomer to call the studio version's end guitar parts "a solo", since it's a mix of about 10 parts that Ken blended together to get what we hear as "the studio version solo".

Whew! Time to get the earwax removal kit out. It's as obvious as the similarity between "I'm So Afraid" & "Tango"...it's just part 3 of the trilogy. (and, all three of those are just periodic updates of his "Frozen Love" solo)

As far as "Come"...I don't like either "solo"...that part just goes nowhere...to me both studio and live, it's just overly distorted noise...he might as well have just revved a chain saw instead.

My favorite Lindsey "solo" (studio, that is) is the killer lead he did in Christine's "Isn't It Midnight". He has never topped that, before or since.
