Are we ever gonna hear the original version of Blaze Of Glory again?

At least in One Last Wild Night it sounded great...
They are playing that song so often that it would be nice to hear Destination Anywhere as well... just for compensation.

Well, when you look at what songs made the switch over to the acoustic format, they were generally the ones that required Jon to use his higher register, right? Bed of Roses especially. Aren't they playing it one and a half semitones down than the record?

And I dont think we'll hear D.A as compensation. Blaze probably isn't played so Jon can play a solo song, it's because it was a hit song, nominated for so many awards and is generally well known. You pull out D.A and you get a sea of confused faces.

But we are the fans, I would love to hear it!
It doesn't matter to me If I don't hear Prayer or It's My Life, I wanna hear some rare songs: Destination Anywhere, Santa Fe, Bang A Drum(would be awesome in big stadiums), All That Really Matters and In These Arms performed by Dave... like in Lunar Eclipse. Show some respect to HC-fans Jon and guys!

ok fair enough

But they play for the 99% of people at a concert that would rather hear Prayer and IML than 'rare songs'. Which makes far more sense.

I'm confident we'll hear it again. I agree with an earlier post, any country route will mean its inclusion into most set-lists.

If only we could hear Blaze, Dry County, These Days, Always and Right Side Of Wrong in one show ... "sighs"

Yes of course that makes more sense but that is not what I'm looking for. They have been playing Prayer for almost 20 years now in almost every concert so to me, to me, it wouldn't be a terrible mistake if I didn't hear it.
But this is just what I think... It's probably never realistic but still. And I don't say they have to take that off. They can just add a few more. I don't mind standing there a little longer.

I just had to check this out:


That´s the most nasal I´ve ever heard anyone sing! And still I´ve seen to much American Idol-crap.. Torture.

Yea, he was nasally there his voice was tired as this Boston show was on the tail end of the Bounce tour. He did a lot of singing through the nose on the Bounce tour, but the good thing is for the most part on the HAND tour the singing through the was rare.
