A quick note before I post, I have been a daily viewer of this forum since the lost highway tour and it really is a fantastic place and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who regularly post, reading is a great source of both info and entertainment. I have decided to, somewhat apprehensively, throw my two cents in a little from now on.

So as I suffer from Jovi withdrawal, like many I cruise youtube to get my "live" fix. I have been listening to the 2011 performances of Wild is the Wind and they are a real treat. Obviously the reasons behind its status as a live rarity are up for debate but I think the way they tweaked it during the last tour turned it into a completely different song for me. Almost more of a ballad, a little more epic and it actually really suits Johns voice in the key its played at.


Its made me wonder why they don't tinker with the tempo and key on a few other old cuts such as Only Lonely as the same treatment could not only make it more manageable for John live, but also breath some new life into the song potentially inspiring them to play more often. I would love to see them try (so long as they steer clear of a total TLFR rework)!

Thoughts, disagreements etc?!
