I gotta say, that soundcheck version of "Only Lonely" is pretty cool! I like the chatting and jamming in the beginning, it's nothing special, but just nice soundcheck atmosphere. The performance itself is pretty cool, and Jon even does some improvisation in the last chorus. Not bad for a soundcheck. Me likey. And we already have a passionate live performance from 1985.

The voice and playing style is definitely not 1985, I think 1986 is pretty accurate. But, did they actually play it in 1986? I thought it retired after the Fahrenheit tour...?!

It was played at almost every show in Japan but was dropped in favour of songs from Slippery when the European leg of the Slippery tour started and they found out how big of a succes Slippery was in Europe. Only the first show of the European leg had Only Lonely, after that it was dropped, probably forever.

No, this one is on the CD. When hearing the preview on Amazon I thought I heard similar riffs as to the version performed during the soundcheck in Seattle.

That said, I agree with bonjovi90, there (again) are so many better versions in the archive, yet Obie picks one of a soundcheck, and during soundchecks no one in the band gave their all; Jon doesn't do the scream before the solo, something he did do during the Fahrenheit tour.

I also don't get why all the banter is included before the song. It's not like anything interested is being said, no funny things or any talk on the setup. Completely pointless this. :|

That is so wierd putting a soundcheck version of a song as bonus material..as you say there are a lot of better versions.

Right, I hadn't checked those setlists. Crazy how few songs they played from "Slippery", they didn't even play "Prayer", therefore stuff like "Burning For Love" and "She Don't Know Me". Things would change soon though... ;-)

I'm undecided between NJ and Slippery. My Slippery is in worse shape but I like the bonus material on NJ more. The 10 minute BOB and the BTBMB with the harmonica are both way cooler than the three predictable Slippery songs we all have a million versions of. Then again it makes no sense to buy an album that's in perfectly good shape over one that skips. I'll decide at the store.

Not according to the Q&A section of the BJ website. So looks like these will be the same remasters as before.

Earlier in this thread the bonus live-tracks for The Circle were stated yet I can't find anything about a The Circle Tour Edition whatsoever.

Was the reply posted earlier about these live-tracks a joke or did I miss out on something ?

I salute you,
