   Thanks Jared and Lewian et al.

I really liked hearing both of those BJH live tracks.  Of the two tracks, not only had I not heard the lives before yesterday, of the two I actually had only known the studio version of Medicine Man before.

As for Renaissance's "Ashes Are Burning".  Ashes Are Burning is one of my very favourite Renaissance tracks, and I love how much this live varies from the studio version.  I commonly favour lives that had not been released on studio albums before, where the live differs considerably from the studio versions, and just generally where it is a unique performance.  Both the studio and this live are each brilliant in their own ways, as well as in the ways they are the same/ overlap.  That could be phrased better.

As for the Gnidrolog, I love the studio version of I Could Never Ba a Soldier (A fave song of mine) and am checking out that live version now.  Thanks.

	Henry Cow's contribution is in fact a BBC Radio 1 session so not recorded in front of an audience as such. From the Concerts album then I would go with 'Ruins'.

	^ Thanks, I had forgotten about that. I almost went with "Ruins".
