I actually prefer this live to the studio version on Some Girls, which is weird because generally I don't think the Some Girl's sound translates well live.
It is really great to have this cover song- after spending the 70s exploring reggae, disco, and mediocrity, they went all the way back to Motown and did it well. Nice touch on an album that is otherwise obsessed with sounding current and relevant.
The rockers did, imo, although this one was taken down a notch energy-wise and extended in concert. I also prefer the live versions. The Hampton version is as good as any of their peaks.

I just watched this video and forgot how they nailed it. I am now going to Crag's List and purchase the Hampton concert.

No, the thread appeared and I read it from the start.

This is great humor!!! Actually this discussion started around 2003 or 2004. I'm too lazy to search Hang Fire.

I stated discussion as opposed to thread. No offense.

Don't like the Some Girls version at all, pretty weak. Love the live versions.

I don't wear hats.
Wasn't there some goofy group in the 70s called "Men that Wear Hats"?

A waste of space on SOME GIRLS but excellent on STILL LIFE.
The studio version is weird - it's a good version performance wise etc, there's nothing really wrong with it but it basically defines what's wrong sonically with SOME GIRLS, it doesn't have any balls, so maybe if it was mixed better it would be better.

It sounds good when it eventually takes off on Some Girls, imo. It is the more subtle parts that sound kind of brutal and harsh. Too trebly.
But the "run away, run away..."-parts towards the end sound great, imo.

The front part of the song, right from the beginning, is just so wonky sounding. As it gets going it does sound better but unfortunately that's just how SG sounds overall. Which worked great for radio - Miss You, BOB and Shattered sound great on radio thanks to the massive compression of FM radio.
