Still about OTN, I wrote just now.

I read it, very interesting thanks ! Well spotted.

I've never been too much into the recording / editing of On the night but yeah, just like the vast majority of us, I've always felt that the whole album didn't sound live at all - despite the fact that all the songs are very well played, maybe too well lol.

As for the Calling Elvis song, I would never have thought that they may have rebuilt the whole song with different recordings. Mixing various videos for one song is something that I've seen before on official DVDs from other artists, but "recreating" a song with various audio recordings is something that I don't like too much. Where's the authenticity in this, I don't know, but I suppose the idea was to offer a "perfect" concert for all the people who attended the show.

My opinion to this life-stuff. There are not many official released suitable live-albums, live-records from the record-company, so in circulation on us fans are much more interesting and very good sounding concerts from the OES-Period, wich also are so valuable for a regular release, also from other DS tours. It belongs to the record-companies, but sometime i cannot understand such release-policy by them.
Same procedure with Bruce Springsteen concert-releases.
Maybe it can be an impulse for the record-companies to release some more cool life-stuff on CD-Sets or on Vinyls.

Alchemy was so bloody marvellous it’s spoiled us for any other live album.

I wish this album would have included Planet of New Orleans, which was incredible live.

it's unbelievable it was left out. for a sane mind.

even more unbelievable it's not out after other 28 years in a special box or something.

And where is the Sultans Of Swing, where is the Telegraph Road?

Following the concept that they used for the 2015 Best-of Tracker Tour, they could release a deluxe box of On The Night, including ALL the songs they played during the 3-4 nights used for the record. That would be cool and probably sell well but… it just won't happen.

I think that at the time of the recordings used for OTN the song was already dropped from the setlist.

They could have included it as an extra on the Encores disc from a different show.
