Meat's version
9/10

Jimmy's live version
10/10

The musical opening is also used in Jim's track for Bonnie Tyler "Rebel Without a Clue". I always felt that it sounded familiar, then upon listening to it (the other day) it hit me. Great song though. Love Jim's version.

I love the instrumental Steinman plays in his live version - it totally throws the song into this crazy, compassionate and heart-turning grand piano opus. It always get to me, that's why I love it so much. And the concert version only has two verses. The other one (for Dead Ringer) wasn't written yet

Great!
Although I think that the way he did it on storytellers is even much better.

When the intro is starting as a common piano intro like many of this songs have, it´s average.
But then The high piano comes in then you see the difference, then you know that Jim is a genius.

I think I´m goona have to leave you, because I´m feeling much o weak to share.

11/10

5. I've never really liked this one.

Brilliant song, full of power and emotion. It has everything passion, humour, heartbreak!
10/10

Great song. The funniest song ever! I love peoples' reactions when I play this to them, and they hear the 'Two of my best friends' line, and then watch their jaw really hit the floor when the 'Group of my best briends' line hits them!

Didn't like it when I first heard it, then saw him perform it on the StoryTellers DVD. I listen to it with different ears now.

Decent tune, should've closed the album though methinks, has a left in the dark, two out of three vibe to it, would've been perfect with a full blown orchestra but time constraints at the time made that impossible, shame. For the version on dead ringer 7/10 for the potential i heard on storytellers 10/10.

florence75015 · 01 Sep 2009, 07:21

I like Meat's passionate way of singing this song, the power of his voice and the video clip too. His version on Storytellers is full of emotion, with more softness in his voice.

9/10

**RadioMaster** · 01 Sep 2009, 08:21

makes you think how great a dead ringer live-unplugged album would sound...

glockenspiel · 01 Sep 2009, 14:06

The pre-Bat 70's recording of it works best for me (it keeps a sense of yoiuthful naivety to it).

Wario · 01 Sep 2009, 15:40

Best version out there's the version from 1972 with meat at the public theater soundboard

8/10 for teh album version
2/10 Jim's version (Horrible)
9.5/10 Public Theater version

**RadioMaster** · 01 Sep 2009, 19:07

The 73 single never really did it for me, I dont think that country touch works on such a dramatic song. It's still interesting to hear the different stages this song went through.

i dunno if you were talking about what i said but i mean the soundboard from 1972 the sound tech recorded (Where the second verse is omitted). but yea i agree with what you mean about the 73 single.

**RadioMaster** · 01 Sep 2009, 19:17

dont think that's a soundboard recording, but I could be wrong

Its the same quality as that rocky horror Broadway show with meat. Its eitehr soundboard or someone with a good tape recorder for 1972

**RadioMaster** · 01 Sep 2009, 19:39

cant comment on that one, never heard a rocky horror bootleg from broadway
