I was listening to my live compilation disc this morning. I can never make up my mind which tracks I like best, ignoring the versions of Eagles songs which I have heard so often (although see below).


I am a sucker for the Royal Oak version of Some Kind Of Wonderful where he really 'tears it up' - especially the 'can I get a witness' chant near the end. Also, from the same show, Let The Good Times Roll, where he sings about his Citation 5 jet. Then there is I Hear You Knocking, which is so cool you could skate on it. I could go on.


The live version of Desperado from Casino Rama is to my mind becoming the definitive version (what a relief to be able to say that). It's sung in the most beautiful, heartfelt way without unnecessary histrionics.
