Whoa! A live version of Fire? That's awesome! Especially for those that really didn't want to export Lego Rock Band for that one track. I'm also happy to see the studio of Purple Haze as I thought the Live version that was used in GH:WT was rather lackluster. (But then again, I found many songs in that game lackluster until the very same tracks were in Rock Band, fanboy much?) Anyway, I can't wait for those two songs, as well as The Wind Cries Mary.

Very nice.

Live version of Fire is certainly welcome with the original already present. Wonder what live performance they're from...

[dinoman]

this will be a great week, i'll gladly buy it all... but i wanna know which live versions of "Hey Joe" and "Fire" we are getting

[yaniv297]

No "I Don't Live Today"? Why is that?

Glad to see that Stone Free and Highway Chile made it though.

I'm a little upset that a live version of Fire is in there instead of Red House. I wish I Don't Live Today was in there as well. I'll still get it all when I can.

Wish "Hey Joe" was the studio version

[Gilgodin]

Damn good songs. I miss Voodoo Child

[Pankrazzo]

Epic win!

But what's up with that Fire (Live) repeat, and how will it sort with the studio version from Lego:RB?

EDIT: Just seen in the Zine that Fire is the Live version from Woodstock, nice

[yaniv297]

Damn good songs. I miss Voodoo Child

That will come in Electric Ladyland though.


BTW I don't think this should count as a full album... with live versions, a track missing and a tracklist that hardly resembles either version of the albums.

Still an amazing pack though.
