Farewell 1 Survivor

[sodascouts]

Agreed, Austin!

[Glennsallnighter]

So were several of mine.

Mine too sadly!

However I had decided early on that my favourite performance on this DVD was indeed Already Gone, so at least it is still in the running.

So without further ado, I would like to vote 'ALREADY GONE' as the winner of this survivor.

[Funk 50]

I was fully intent on voting for Already Gone but then had second thoughts after reading some of the posts, extolling the virtues of Life In The Fast Lane.

I don't really go for "the guys are having so much fun" argument. Glenn has said they like nothing more than playing a few ballads. Joe almost apologizes for playing ballads at solo shows but he keeps playing them to a, some times, unappreciative audience.
It wouldn't be right to have the guys dancing around during the slow songs but I think they enjoy performing them just as much, if not more than, the rockers.

Already Gone and Life In The Fast Lane are both great songs, lyrically, musically and even conceptually but this is my favourite version of Already Gone. There are things I miss in the original version but i think the F1 version edges it. The duel guitar arrangements, as demonstrated by the Hotel California guitar solo, sounds so much better after Joe joined the band.

Both tracks are great but Life In The Fast Lane is, same as it ever was. Already Gone is a little bit different.

Already Gone gets my vote and I think it is also my favourite performance on the dvd too, although not clear cut, among many fine performances.

I vote Already Gone for the win.

This round is gonna be close!

Life in the Fast Lane. Simply the best version of the song I have seen (and the last with Don doing what he does best), which I cannot say for Already Gone. Love Joe's work in LITFL more than I do for AG too.

This round is gonna be close!

Yep - It sure is Soda. It's not too late for Life in the Fast Lane because there are still some outstanding votes.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I still don't have a preference between these two performances, so just to make the game a little closer ...

I cast my vote for Life in the Fast Lane.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well it was a very close final round of the Farewell I DVD Survivor. But Life in the Fast Lane, you'd better call the doctor cause I think you just crashed. The performance that is feeling strong and can begin singing the victory song is …
