The last time I was in that account, it was 2007 maybe. Assuming it's still the same account, but sorry to ask :oops:

I think I'm going to resist listening to this because I think I'm really going to like the album, but I'm nervous that it's going to close on a weak song. I'd rather go into those final 4+ minutes with as few biases as possible.

That said, if someone could PM me the Gmail info in the event that LB shows up early somehow, I would really appreciate that.

So...what's the deal with this then?

From what I gather, it's either

1) a demo which just includes Eddie on an acoustic guitar
2) a soundboard version of the live performance in July, with Eddie and his guitar isolated (likely, IMO)

Is this official, and what's the purpose for it? My guess is it's going to be tacked on as 'Future Days (Acoustic)' or something.

It's not a demo, just the guitar / vocal from the Wrigley performance.

Does that still leave room for Slipstream (electric)?

It would be a really good tag for Betterman (live).

It's not that good, although hopefully it'll have something of that effect on the album. My thinking is that the piano in Fairytale of New York is greatly helped by having a good song in the middle.
