On my copy of "Do It Again" from the Concert/Live In London 2-fer, it skips right after Mike says, "It's nice to be back in Lon SKIP don again". Does anybody else's? I want to put it on my updated Greatest Hits mix CD for someone, but, being a perfectionist...

Same on my copy  I hadn't noticed it yet... Just wondering, why are you putting this version of Do It Again on a Greatest Hits CD instead of the studio version? |

As a total representation of the group, I wanted to include a live cut or two. I tried to choose a song where the live version might be better than the studio version - which isn't many. "Do It Again" from Live In London is slightly faster, I like the audience clapping, the 1-2-3-4 counting, and Mike's vocal. While I also enjoy the studio version of "Do It Again" very much, there is something about Mike's lead vocal - kind of a weary, strained feel - that detracts a little bit from the song, for me anyway. |

I'd pick the Live In London version of "Aren't You Glad" over the studio version any day.
MUCH livelier!

Yeah, "Aren't You Glad", and the much dreaded "Barbara-Ann".

Any live recording of "Darlin'" is better than the studio version...the 1980 Knebworth one always makes my playlists.

Talking about Knebworth, "Keepin' The Summer Alive" is much better than the studio version in my opinion...

Even though most of the Knebworth "Darlin'" was post-dubbed in the studio ? Reportedly Carl's vocal and guitar are the only truly 'live' parts. |

Well... why overdub an acceptable performance to that extent ?

Exactly the actual performance was pretty darn good if you ask me. From memory there is some bits on the DVD that are pretty noticeable that it has been overdubbed in the studio |

No, but seriously, you ruined it for me. I'm changing my answer to the Live in London version...are we safe on that one?  |

In all honesty, my favorite Darlin' version would come from some soundbaord bootlegs done in the mid-90's

As long as it has Carl singing it it usually sounded pretty good  |

You know who does apretty good job on "Darlin" live? Brian, on Live At The Roxy. One of his best vocals on the album.
Thought I'd ask the question again - does anybody's "Do It Again" from Live In London NOT SKIP at the beginning?

Well to answer your question yes mine does NOT skip at the part your talking about. I agree about Brian on Live At The Roxy. He seems in a pretty good mood throughout the whole concert and a lot of his vocals reflect that hes having a good time. |
