Yeah, once I’ve heard a cool live arrangement it’s hard to listen to the studio version, although a song for xx ( the song) and powder snow I still happen to really like the Original studio arrangements. I like the live ones more, but for some reason I’m sometimes in the mood for the originals.
Totally agree on the Namie live arrangement stuff. I definitely like them better than the studio versions. It’s such a shame she didn’t continue with the band all the way through. I’m a little sad they didn’t bring back her original band with Kenji Sano, Sheila E, Land Richards, Carlos Rios and the chorus team with Lynn Mabry and Will Wheaton JR for the Finally Tour. That would have been so incredible bc they were awesome and I enjoy the vibe more with the shows she had them than with later shows (especially shows without the band at all)

I just read in another forum that she had to stop the live band in 2011 because of the condition of her throat - also the reason she changed the way she sang (for the worse, but better for her so that she could go on)
