including by me, but I notice that I like both Live Chronicles and Live At
Reading, more than Live 79 for example.  So perhaps his drum sound worked
live better than it did in the studio.  Simon King's drumming on Live 79 is
clearly streets ahead in terms of technique, but the overall sound is weak.
 On the other hand, that could just be the production (I don't know much
about that side of things).

Musically, perhaps (although I like it), but you do know the original
single was done for a charity?  Not quite so pointless.
