Lyrical Changes from Studio to Live Versions

Here's another version of the "Mexico" verse. The words are slightly different, e.g. "I'd love to go to Mexico".

Ah, that was excellent. Glenn sounds magnificent!

And I can easily overlook the hideousness of his shirt's design by concentrating on the sweaty chest it reveals. Hey, I've got a new lyric - "I like the way your gold medallion lays against your glistening chest."

That is a great video!!! I just love watching these "old" videos--the memories coming flooding back and I remember how it was when it was all still "new" and hearing these songs for the first time---I was 11. WOW! Glenn's voice was so smooth in this one. Thanks for reminding me of these!

Ooh, I love the Mexico verse! I wonder if it was cut from the original track? He sang it pretty consistently back in the day. The lyrics are something like

I'd love to go to Mexico
Somewhere where the pace of life is slow
And there's no one there I know
It's another Tequila Sunrise
I'm wondering if I'm growing wise
Or telling lies

Here's a video from Houston 1976:

Oh man! What a way to start my day! How am I going to get any work done now after seeing all that hotness? This is my very favorite look for Glenn. I can ignore the shirt, like Soda!

I love that extra verse, too. And Soda's!

Willie....11? Geez!

I love the Mexico verse. And Glenn looks HOT. Probably my favourite era for him, too. Loving the alternate lyrics, Nancy!

Love the lyric!

I remember now the other clip from a TV show where they sang the Mexico verse, but I don't see it on YouTube anymore. It wasn't very good quality. I may have saved it somewhere, if I did I'll post it.
