'Lost Boys Calling' got no love. There's actually three versions of it released. The original demo on 'Flickering Flame' is horrid.....why the hell would he have released that embarrassment....it could curdle milk, it's so bad. Rogers worst singing EVER...and that's really saying something. The other two versions are similar....one was released as a stand alone single, the other was put out on the movie soundtrack as the last song. I think the only difference is Eddie Van Halen's guitar on the latter version. Roger really sang both versions very well....some of his very best latter day vocals ever, so I just don't understand why he chose to put that awful demo on his compilation.

Each small Candle for me. First heard it on the DVD and was amazed by the power in it. When I saw Roger in Dublin during the European leg of the tour he played Flickering Flame which was a bit disappointing, but the more I hear it now the more it grows on me.

Heard Leaving Beriut when I saw him in Manchester recently and was impressed one minute and disappointed the next. Just wasn't sure how to take the song. It seems a bit mixed up in where its going musically. Would still love to hear it on an album...or am I just dreaming!

Lost Boys gets my vote. Yes, the Flickering Flame version stinks, but I bought (yes, bought) the version from the Ennino Morricone compilation on iTunes and it is excellent.
