I Actually Quite Like It.....
Not Sure If Its As Good As The Original ??
What do you think??
Also, if you saw them on the recent tour how did it come across live??

It went down very well. But no more than anything else really. I must admit, I like this arrangement. I haven't listened to the Reading CD properly yet but I'll certainly do that with this track and one or two others. I prefer it to the original but only because I was never the song's biggest fan. It felt like it was in the set longer than Creepin.... back in the day

This probably won't make any sense to anyone else (but it does to me!) I was never really a fan of DDMY, either electric or Aquostic but I do like this one!
is there any other song on Aquostic 1 or 2 that you think the electric Aquostic version would work better than the original?

Probably not because Don't Drive My Car was one of the few tracks that completely departed from the original style; that and maybe Dear John. Although I wouldn't mind hearing the Aquostic version of Rain done electrically.

That's actually an interesting question. I'm not sure about DDMC though. I can't stand the original, but although the acoustic version is very different, I don't like it either - or its switched back electric rendition. I probably prefer All The Reasons and Reason For Living acoustically over their electric counterparts - but maybe that's to do with the fact that live they were a breath of fresh air ?And It's Better Now is another one of those ..

I wasn't a massive fan of the original, without disliking it. I really don't like this version acoustically or electric. It spoilt the gig a little bit for me if I'm honest, it upset the flow, it sounded weird, it didn't really 'fit in'. And the fact that it was something new/different, didn't make a difference.
What I found strange is that Francis always complained about not liking the lyrics to this one, not musically, and yet he's happy to play this version even though it has the same lyrics.
So not for me; there's very little I don't like from Quo, but this is one of them.

I wasn't keen on the original, couldn't stand the aquostic version and I'm not to impressed in the plugged in, aquostic interpretation of Don't Drive My Car. I see what you mean Inna, regarding Francis looking a bit uneasy introducing the song, but Andy's voice sounded good.
