Will whoever's voting for SAE kindly refrain and go back to watching Beachcombers or something?
Ha! We've doubled our vote total since Round 1. Your tears will almost make up for the other results.
I haven’t been looking at the total # of votes. 20 cast so far is that above average then?
I think Gerussi meant doubled the vote for SAE.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Up in Heaven for me, though at this stage they're all greats. For me personally though SAE, WB and CDS are the giants.
You can add SGM to that trio.
If only for the fantastic Bonds version, go on then.

Amsterdam 81 is better and just as good sound quality.

Here's the order that I want to hear these songs (from most to least):
Let's Go Crazy
Somebody
Something
Washington Bullets
Charlie Don't Surf
One More Time
Up In Heaven

I will vote accordingly.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I'd agree with that but have LGC above WB. That latter song was usually pretty horrible live, Joe could never find the right key to sing it. I think I remember one good performance, may have been Melbourne, definitely early 82.

Just think about how damned satisfying it'll be when SAE gets voted out, just for the pain it'll cause its insane backers.
