Well, considering the song's lyrics are coming from a girl's perspective, that would seem a logical stance.

Wasn't the video shown before some of the 'Ultimate Live Experience' tour performances from 1995 rather than the 'Act II' tour?

Empty Room is awesome but Open Book....? Its good but not one of the best unreleased songs ever. Now if u wanna get into the best unreleased songs ever I really like the stuff he while making The Dream Factory and Crystal Ball/SOTT.Guess we all have different taste.

Thought so.

I remember watching the videos in a hall still only about a quarter full - all lights on. Included Madhouse's '10' and 'Zannalee' that evening.

Though there r unreleased versions of these songs circulating, they've both been released:
- Open Book ended on Jeveta Steele's 2nd album way back in 1993.
- Empty Room was released in 2002 on the "C-Note" album, still on sale @ NPGMC.

Great songs, anyway. I particularly love "Open Book".

Yeah - but that released 'version' can't even hold a candle to the '95 version he made the video for, for a start his voice is shot to hell on the live take.

I tend 2 agree that both circulating unreleased versions r better 2 the 2002 one...

That's fine, and to each their own - but I was majorly disapointed when I heard the officially released version on C-note, as his voice just let it down. When I saw him perform it live it was killer, and there are numerous other recordings of it that are far superior, which makes me wonder why he even bothered.
