Hate to disagree, Dot, but this sounds club-footed to me, compared with the original. The main hook of this song is the shimmering, pulsating, almost ethereal guitar riff that runs round in a loop through the whole song and drives it forward. Like so many of Boz's arrangements (at least in later years) they have gone for the crash-thump-strum, cobble-it-together-in-half-an-hour version and it's missing its intended spirit. I get that it must have been great to be there, just to hear him play it live, but to me its a poor effort.Yes, I loved hearing that one in San Diego ‘13, it sounded sublime, really.
