Live Version Question

Post by RemarkablyInsincere » Thu May 21, 2015 2:09 am

The Ozzy's Boneyard channel on SiriusXM plays a live version of "Welcome To My Nightmare" that I can't place. They pretty much exclusively play this version of the song and after hearing it more than half a dozen times, it had me wondering where it is sourced from. I quite like it.

So today, I decided to figure it out and went through all my live stuff I have (quite a bit) and yet still can't place it.

The version in question actually fades in during "Steven" and we get a bit of that... maybe a minute... before it seamlessly transitions to "Welcome To My Nightmare."

It actually sounds somewhat recent (last 15 years) to me, however none of the recent versions of the song are preceded by "Steven" that I can find. It's also definitely not the version on "Trashes the World".

Any ideas?

The Fistful of Alice version starts with a bit of Steven, so my guess is that's it.

That's it! Steven is not on the credits so I stupidly didn't play it.

I suspected I was overlooking something.

Great version.
