    As cool as it is to hear the Joe The Lion recording, which is closer to the album version than the live version from the Serious Moonlight tour, I can see why this has been in the vaults for so long. David sings most of it, but leaves out other bits, so it's clearly a soundcheck rehearsal and easy to see why it wasn't performed at the shows. As a die hard fan, it's something really cool to hear once, but it won't get a lot of repeat listens.
