I�ve been listening to �Before Bedtime� quite a bit (thanks Dan and Greg for supporting a leaf on the tree) and comparing it to the released �Bedtime Stories�, my favorite DB album. Being able to listen to alternate versions like this forces me to listen to different things in these songs and really increases my appreciation of them.
I wonder though, what happened to the prominent steel guitar on �Hello Mary� and �Hey Stranger�? I liked the steel on them: it added to the lonely feel on �Stranger�. On �Mary�, the steel and fiddle worked together so nice, although they didn�t mock each other as much as they could have. Was there any particular reason to give so much of the steel part to the fiddle on the �Bedtime Stories� version?
