Thoughts and Question about the Livein Boston CD
I've been in a Say You Will phase for the last few days. The CD included with the Live in Boston DVD is really frustrating for me. Here's why:
This collection could have been a great addition to their other live albums, 1980's Live and and 1997's The Dance. yet they gave us mostly a monotonous rehash. Of the miserly nine songs, five of them already appeared on both previous live albums, and two were on The Dance. Also, only one song from Say You Will was included. To keep things fresh I wish they would have showcased mostly songs that were not on either live album. What is the incentive for them to be so repetitive with such a small group of songs? Is it a financial reason? Do they get a higher return on royalties with more higher profile songs? The standard reasoning that casual fans are only looking to hear the songs they know most doesn't hold water. This CD/DVD package was not being bought by casual fans looking for only for the hits (their several greatest hits compilations serve that purpose well.) This was a release bought by die-hard fans. So who and why did they decide on this poor selection of songs? It could have been so much better: 1. Second Hand News 2. Gypsy 3. What's the World Coming To 4. Say You Will 5. Peacekeeper 6. Beautiful Child 7. Eyes of the World 8. Gold Dust Woman 9. Say Goodbye 10. Come 11. Goodbye Baby

Totally agree with you. Casually, I was watching the DVD with my sister, and
we found the same thing: the CD is maybe incomplete, or is just not enough for us. I think Gypsy and Gold Dust Woman must be, because they were maybe the big absents in The Dance CD. Let me put in your playlist only two songs: The chain (only as an intro) and I'm So Afraid, one that I think can't be absent! Thanks and regards!! |
