I seem to recall Mark singing the "drums beat the tattoo line" live on many occasions. Maybe he couldn't remember which line they used. Maybe he preferred it.

By the way, seems as a good reason for all this stuff which was going on on this compilation, is that Chuck Ainlay messed up all the files, as he told in Tape Op magazine. He said nobody know how to save files and so it's was a mess, and up to 2014 nobody wants to get original hard-drives back.

Mark sang many different lines on this song live and not necessarily in the right order!
