Yeah I had the whole dvd of the concert damn hard drive failed and lost it all..

For The Love of God intro is the best.. It should of been that way on the cd

Liberty was also very nicely done, as were a few others to say the least. I wish someday this would make it out to CD its exceptional.

Is it me or is that rendition of Lotus Feet really sloppy...its still good but I think he played it much better on the CD recorded one, and even when I saw him do it live..

lotus feet on the CD is the same version you just watched LMAO.. haha

Lefty Robb · #12 08-30-2006, 02:01 AM

hahah, no its not, the ending is all wrong, he does the slide sustain thing a lot longer in the vid, and Steve screws up at 1:25 and another blunder at 3:30, not to mention he's using the whammy bar a lot more in the vid as well, like at 3:25, which is a lick not on the CD....Don't forget too he did more than 1 show...

Its possible he edited it back in the studio though, he's known for doing that but I doubt it on this..

Cool vids. Thanks for posting these. It is interesting to see these versions of these songs.

well, its not suppose to be out yet, heres the quote from Steve:

So, projecting past the ZPZ tour I should be working on the Metropole CD's, I hope to have them for a release by the end of the year, but that may be a challenge. Just.. gotta.... get this... Urhgghg !!!! under my &#@^#%@$@* FINGERS!

So I don't know how these got leached onto the internet. As far as the recording on the RI:R album, it is recorded live /w the orchestra. However, as I pointed out, I don't think the video and the CD are the same for obvious reasons.
