Concerning Runaway... I love the 1995/96 versions of it. I got a bootleg from Bremen 1995 and is has a magic feeling to it, being the last song for a show or at least the second last. Like bleedinGuitar said, the atmosphere was better. In one way cooler than it was 1985, on the other hand it carried the lyrics better. And I also think this song doesn't fit in the beginning of a show, like Hey God, they both belong in the second half of a set.
The 2000 version was nice and something new, but I'm really hoping to hear it 2003 again - the fast version, the original. I remember the show in Stuttgart during the One Wild Night tour just before they changed the encores on stage and suddenly everybody started shouting "Runaway! Runaway! Runaway!" And I was so desperatly hoping they would play it... but they didn't... Therefore they played Mystery Train/I'll be there for you instead of Tequila/T&S. That was cool too!
