Never Say Goodbye wasn't included on the US version though.

Personally, I would have left Blaze off in favour of another band hit. But I suppose it was a big hit worldwide.

That would make sense

Never understood why Blaze was on crossroads.
Great song but it’s Jon’s song not the bands.
If Blaze made it then so should’ve Stranger in this Town

Stranger was shortlisted for inclusion, along with a few others but was cut for time.

It's a Greatest Hits compilation though. On a band level, Blaze shouldn't be there. On a success level it had every right to be there and not Stranger, it massively eclipsed it in success.

Living in Sin... All the way!
Never really liked it live, they never came close to the studio version, thats perfection.
About why Blaze was on Crossroad and not other band songs... I get it, it was a big hit, they wanted to sell more

Almost everything on New Jersey is superior to everything else. So Living In Sin
I love the studio version, I have nice memories of watching the video throughout one summer with a girl I liked.
I was shocked to hear the live version at first because I was used to the stuio track too much. However, I quickly got into it. I must admit that sometimes I hated that Living In Sin replaced I'll Be There For You in the setlists. Maybe in majority of them in the Jersey tour. I prefer the Philly or San Diego sets when they played I'll Be There For You in the main set and open the encored with Living In Sin - just the drums to start it, slowly in dark - the whole build up just works theme.
Gimme a time machine please...
