I'd love it if they'd give Silvertown another try.  Revive Junkie Doll too, this time with Jim Cox.  StP was a great album with so many wonderful songs on it with good live potential, Speedway included. ;)

Yes, absolutely. STP could have been a DS album, and with the DS sticker on it, it would have solde triple !
Silvertown is wonderful, I can't understand why this one was not played live, this was the natural candidate (just like Punish the Money or So Far From the Clyde).
Junkie Doll was meant to be a live classic, really too bad it was only played on one tour.
Many people say Speedway is much better live, well, while I love the live versions I think the studio version also has some character of its own...

stp is my fav solo album, but for songs like : what it is, the title track, silvertown, baloney again, the last laugh, sands of Nevada, prairie wedding, let's see you....but speedway hasn't been one of my fav
I find that strat sound fit more to Mark's music, than his overdriven pensa/LP tone

but well, I like hillfarmer blues or 5:15, or trawlerman, or Go love, or scafolder's wife.... though  :)
I also love Boom like that, but maybe more for the rhythms guitars than for the lead one

ok ok ok speedway has some nice feelings....
unlike many people I guess, I prefer the 2001 version with the 3 guitars, and the acoustic section (like on the why aye man maxi)

Yeah, I'm the proud owner of this (rare) fabulous maxi CD, and I like this Speedway very much... still, we wait too much for something big to happen, I still think the 2006 one with Emmylou is the best !

Yes, the 2006 Speedways were terrific but so were some of the ones played last year.  Geneva and Innsbruck are some of the best ever.

The 2001 versions are great too, but very different and difficult to compare.  Remember also the rare early version with double solo's at the end played in Buenos Aires!

Best ever... Despite Mike's flute ?
That's why I think to be lucky enough to have the best version ever on DVD for once (RLRR) : violin but no flute, pure guitar... And blend of male and female voices ! Awesome !

Here's another vote for the 2001 versions. Just shows what a great drummer Chad is. The best so far for MK.

The 2001 tour was not one of my favourites - Mike Henderson's guitar was just too overpowering and I didn't enjoy SAN for the same reason.  The 2010 versions of Speedway are some of the best for me!    Jim ruined the 2011 ones with his plinky-plonky piano in the outro!

ah yes I found it, but did'nt hear so much differences with later versions on the same tour
what do you mean with "double solo" ?
if you mean licks played by Mike Henderson and Richard, these are the riffs played during all the tour, not particulary at this gig.
Or do you you mean Mark's solo was a bit different, a bit longer than usual ?

It's from Buenos Aires 31.03.01 and after the organ solo Mark comes in again for another solo.

Yes, the 2011 versions were great despite Mike's flute.  This is because of the mix and the fact they weren't the Simfy recordings.  I think Jim's organ was great and contributed to the song because he improvised each night with something a little different.

yes it's the concert I've listened and indeed you are right , there  is a "double" solo  :)

but I must admit that I had to listen to many others versions juet right now for hearing the difference, and verify, because I tought it was always the case on all versions :smack
