Yes Toris...I felt similar about "Peace in the Neighborhood" and "C'mon People upon first listens on the Off the Ground album. But as I have said, the "live" versions are so much better than what you hear on the album. The video that Nancy put up here on a couple of posts just above... really turned me around on "Peace in the Neighborhood"however. Paul's vocal (at least on the MTV show) sounded so much better especially with Hamish Stuart's great back up vocals and Robbie's equally great guitar solo at the end of the song. Wix also did a terrific piano on the track as well as Blair's nice drumming. You could tell that the band really got into the song as well as the audience.
C'Mon People is admittedly "long" but I also liked it much better than the album version. If you get a chance try giving the MTV/ Ed Sullivan Video a look. I also loved the takes on "I Owe it All To You", Off the Ground, Get Out of My Way and Hope of Deliverance. It was a great show and one that I think Paul should release as a DVD or Blue Ray.
