I think it would be practically impossible to recreate the "Sara" wall of sound live- there's a lot of studio effects and overdubs on that. Although it seems that on Soundstage Sessions it seems that Sharon, Lori and Jana tried to recreate the "ooh" harmonies that kind of wash in and out of the studio version very subtly.

I wasn't talking about Lindsey playing the acoustic, I know he was playing the electric.... but wasn't the acoustic guitar played by Ray Lindsay who usually stood in the back? Somebody is definitiely palying an acoustic guitar on that St Louis show. Am I really the only one who hears this guitar on the St Louis boot??

Chili D, I hear the piano, but I really do hear the guitar on the studio version, I am not trying to be difficult! I even used software to amplify the intro to make sure. Also, for some reason I hear it more on the version that's on "The Chain" boxset than on any version that has come out since.

But I guess I need to be willing to admit that maybe I'm hearing things!

In any case, that keyboard that they use these days for the intro is really hard on my ears.

I just really haven't enjoyed a live version of Sara since the Mirage tour, with the "Bella Donna/Wild Heart/(some of the) Rock A Little tour" version being the absolute worst for me.
