I like Let the Records Play about as much as 1/2 Full, and I was expecting a live performance to further elevate it like it does for 1/2 Full. And while Mike does great work in this version, Eddie's performance feels a bit flatter - it loses some of the 3 AM devil may care playfulness of the studio. It was a good version, but it didn't make me like the song more.
That was a great version of oceans, which is a song that has always translated well live. I wish this was from an era where Eddie could hit the high notes, though. Going from 'ohhhh' to 'heee' has always bothered me a bit. Surely there is a version out there that has the depth of this performance with the added value of nailing the full vocal range.
