WGFA on new WN

Hello wholisters!  First, I'd like to thank White Fang for reminding me 
about Yoko's appearance at the Daltrey WNEW Christmas benefit at Madison 
Square Garden.  I had completely forgotten about that "special guest".  
Since there was some controversy over the date of that concert, I went 
rummaging through my "archives" at home (junk) and found a promotional 
handout from the concert.  The concert was on December 9, 1985 and 
featured Roger with special guest Big Country.  It didn't mention Yoko or 
JE, but I do remember them being there (I think :) ).



Second, I wanted to get some second opinions on what I think I hear in 
the new and improved WGFA.  After listening to the song the first time, 
something sounded different during the synth section at the end of the 
song.  I pulled out my old WN CD and played the whole thing, and sure 
enough, the new one sounds slightly different.  I think I've narrowed it 
down to what sounds like a skip in the new WGFA at 7:25 into the song.  
As a comparison, on my CD player, the first drum beat after the synth 
section on the old WGFA kicks in at 7:31, on the new WGFA it comes in at 
7:32.  Daltrey's mighty SCREAM at the end of the song kicks in at 7:44 on 
the old and 7:45 on the new.  I'd like to know if my new CD alone has a 
skip in it at 7:25 or do all of the CDs have this same skip?  Is it an 
error on MCA's part or is it a slightly different synth recording?  Or am 
I just hearing things?  I'm not trying to blame MCA for a mistake, I 
think the new release with the liner notes is great.  I'm just curious.
