The doc told me not to run any marathons so...  Not that I ever could anyway!

So, if the release date is 1st September and the GNR concert is on 4th September, it must be a playback performance on the night.   I had hoped it would have been recorded live on the 4th and then made available for download.

I think there have been many better performances of Going Home than this one.  This sounds distorted and there's also added clapping and cheering for effect!   :think     Anyway, it's for a good cause, that's the main thing.   :)

Sorry, Val, forgive my ignorance, but which version are you referring to?

I thought a re-release would mean, well, re-releasing the old version? Is there a version we can listen to already?  ??? ???

Apparently the new release is a 'live' 2014 version, which I presumed was what SL has posted, with an old video accompanying it.   Anyway it can't be a 'live' performance on Thursday if the download is available tomorrow.

OK, it is Sept. 1st now and there is a snippet available at amazon.co.uk. Wanted to download it but forgot that for UK I had to rewrite my payment information again and had my credit card not at hand. Will happen tonight. What I can say is that it sounds definitely like a 2010 live version. I compared the first few bars with Glasgow and Newcastle, mainly the audience reations, because the notes are played very similar, both by Mark and John.
So it is not a new recording. I have not all Get Lucky recordings so I am not sure how often Going Home was played on that tour...
