I thought they tried it in rehearsal although I have to say I'm a bit not in the know about all of the tracks they rehearsed for that tour. I'm sure someone here has got some inside info on it.

I never got this whole not making things work live. Between the five (now four) of them and the mini-Mac with them, I would think they could figure this out. Hell, they did Little Lies on both the 1987-88 and 1990 tours!

There are a couple songs they rehearsed for the MTV show but ended up not playing them, and Little Lies was one of them. I'm not sure if that means it (and the others) was no longer in consideration for the tour or not.

Did you get to hear a Dance Vers of Little Lies Luke?

I wish! I just know that it was rehearsed. Isn't It Midnight was too, if I recall correctly. Easy Come Easy Go definitely was.

Wow Luke... you should have gone to burbank and snuk in!!

I never liked the song Easy Come Easy Go, but to hear any of the above live with LB... well that would be special...

Isn't It Midnight with that blistering solo.... wow... that would have easily beat out Temporary One... for me anyway...

I disagree. "Temporary One" was a new song, thus important to include. A great song, too.

I would have liked to have heard both.

Yeah I realize that most people like TO. I don't get it.. it's very vanilla to me...

Then again I think Bad Journey is amazing lyrics and keyboard wise... and most people don't dig it at all....

I stand by my choices!!!

I think Temporary One is quite dull as a song, but I did put the chorus lyrics in my dad's funeral program.

The river goes on and on, and the
Sea that divides us is a
Temporary one, and the
Bridge will bring us back together.

For the production on Bad Journey and Easy Come/Easy Go, I am accompanying Dan Perfect to the nursery, where I am sure he will feel more at home.

I knew she wouldn't tour on IMT, but she did so many of her songs from the second album when she did perform, that it would have been a real pleasure to get all of IMT live, just for posterity. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Now that would have made for a great video album.

It should have replaced the Dance version of Over My Head, which was pleasant but a bit out of a dud in the set--especially in its placement towards the end of the program.

I thought, too, that Spare Me a Little or Love in Store would have been better than Everywhere.

Temporary One, however, was a success. It was certainly better than Easy Come Easy Go.
