So glad they're playing something else from Warren Era apart from obvious OW and CU (WL doesn't count as its a cover)

Last night i was listening to a 2006 recording and they played Electric Barbarella which sounded quite nice. They also did Serious, My Own Way, Hold Back The Rain and Some Like It Hot that night. Really cool!!

I, on the other hand, LOVE the Carnival version of the song. How was this live version? Was it more like the album version or the Carnival version; I doubt it sounded like the single version. It's funny, for a song that I love so much, I absolutely hate the 1981 single/night versions.

And there was an interview somewhere where John or Nick expanded on the reasons why it didn't gel with them, even though they recorded the darn thing. I think it made its way back in the set list in 2006 because they felt it made a decent medley with Some Like it Hot.

Hi I was there as well. DoubleDs posted on his facebook page his review of the Duran show in San Diego. (It is on the lizard king site if anyone wants to see it). I agree with him - as I had the same reaction at the Hollywood bowl. They were on. I was not sitting in the 1st section. But the second section 2nd row. There is this ledge in front of us that separates the 1st and 2nd section and a pathway before the ledge. Would you believe Simon walks into the audience and jumps on the ledge during What are the Chances. I am like - holy shit - he is right in front of me. It wasnt that big of a deal - as I met him before - but still - holy shit. You should have seen the faces - pure astonishment and excitement. He made it around the entire ledge to give everyone a view (I think). He sang the song effortlessly - without any strain to his vocal cords - as I was watching closely - that's how close he was. He looks good up close - very very fit. Someone must have a cell phone video of this - because everyone was recording it where I was sitting. He jumped on the ledge later - oh, yes - for Danceophobia - but part of his bit was recorded as I heard his voice but he wasnt signing that part. The 2 singers were with him this time. on the ledge. It was a blast! I think all the new songs were great - especially Paper Gods. Like Double Ds said - it sounded better live than on cd. Possibly because of JTs bass. It was booming. Same for last night in the city and what are the chances -in that they sounded great live. Hudson was on stage next to the 2 female singers lending his vocals to Paper Gods - which was nice to see. Hudson also sang on Pressure off using JTs mike stand for that one. And of course Nile was there to do Notorious and Pressure off. The funny bit there was that Simon stopped Notorious - I guess because he wanted to give Nile a proper introduction. Simon said - I can stop the song, right?I think Simon was just in the zone the entire night - and went right into Notorious and then he sees Nile. He did a funny thing earlier in the show when he said - we have a new song for you now. And then JT starts laughing. The Simon says we do have a new song but later in the show. I think he was just in the zone. He also said after performing here on the Arsenio Hall show - he always wanted to play here and he really likes the bowl! Oh, the reason why I didnt have my cell phone at the ready! I treated myself to the new sony high resolution audio recorder - the D100 -and I was able to bring it in without any issue. Thankfully, there was minimal audience talking in my vicinity - so the audio came out very good. The only issue is I recorded it using Sony's DSD audio format - which is the new gold standard. That is good - because its the best audio signal you can get - but bad because noone else has it. So, I will see what software is out there to play the files via the computer. If I can find some good software - I will try and post some tracks. Yes, Sony is all over this high resolution audio - with their walkman to play hd audio files (like Paper Gods from Hdtracks.com) and now this recorder. For those about to see them - you are in for a treat:) Thanks for this review!!! DSD audio format is not a problem for me Hi bigbanggeneration, Have you got some news about your recording? In dsd audio format? Thanks
