boxed set altenate version of "The Real Me".  The crowd loves "Leaving 
Here", good motown dance tune, we throw a verse of "Who Do You Love" 
(little tribute to the boys) in the middle.  

When we do "The Real Me" people get blown away, of course this version 
grooves a little more; I hate to say it, but Kenney Jones lays down a 
fat groove in that song.  I play bass in the band, it's one of the songs 
I look forward to, I play it different each night.  Entwistle is the 
bass player GOD.
