I swear, if anyone else had done that, they should have been trying to figure out if there was some way they could sue.

And don't even bring up that lounge lizard version of Bed of Roses. Those of us in the U.S. got THAT version of BoR during the tour instead of the gorgeous real one. By the end of the U.S. leg, I was sitting down during that song in protest.

(Of course, in spite of all that hate, I still own 2 copies of TLFR. The first one that I bought before I knew I hated it, and the second one that I HAD to get because it came with a DVD that included a few songs from the Yokohama show. Oh, and I have the DVD from the Borgata, too, which somehow isn't quite as bad as the CD. Sheesh. "Sucker" is written on my forehead, isn't it?)

I can't blame you on the BOR thing. I wouldn't be happy to get that version. This album certainly is not their smartest move, no way. I'm kinda changing my mind now, I'm listening to it right now on my iPod - for the first time inn quite a while. It's actually worse than what I rememberd. I stick with liking the version of BTBMB (atlough it does not even TOUCH the orginal. ) So yeah, I wouldn't be listening to this album too often. But, I don't think it's ABSOLUTELY awful. I could live without it, that's for sure. And if they gave me a version of one of these songs, over the orignial - I too would be bummed.

Oh, but I DO like the DVD. I watch it fairly often actually. The DVD is much better.
