I agree, loved the live version and was disappointed with the overproduced version on the album. I would have preferred a version more akin to the live performance on the album, and then they could have used the current album version as a single edit (for what little use that is worth these days).

Jovi are dead as a singles act though sadly- not 100% their fault of course, they are just too old and "uncool" for the youth market that buys singles. Any BJ song would simply struggle to get the airplay required to be a "hit" in the previous sense of the word, but that shouldn't stop them making them videos and making 3 or 4 songs from the album the main focus and have them as singles- release them to radio and maybe they could catch on. I do think I'm With You was a missed opportunity for us in the sense that it was sadly most ignored, not that it would have been a radio hit.
