Better Version II - The Boys of Summer

I really like both versions here. Hard to pick one.

Don Henley - the original

Had to use the live version, since the studio version has been blocked. Bah.

The Ataris - the cover


To be fair, I used a live version of The Ataris, too.

For the record, I have both versions on my iPod. It's pretty much a coin flip for me.

Why can't I have my cake and eat it too?

I went with the original, but that Live version does The Ataris no justice.

I really hate that to be consistent I had to use live versions. Both studio versions kick a$$.

 

[GM_Tood]

I'm an original fan.

Never heard the Ataris version before.

Much better, but I still prefer the Girls of Summer.

Saw the Eagles in Omaha 2x in the 70's and drove back to Lincoln/Waverly and survived

Being about 50 feet from the stage was kinda like shooting a 45 or 357 without ear protection. Took me 3-4 days to get all my hearing back !

Original...love the synthesizers and fender guitars jammin out.

Original. Hands down

Like them both, but like the more guitar driven sound of the remake.
