It doesn't really work. It just leaves you with this flat, empty
feeling, like "what, it's over like *that*?" I liked it better as an
opener, or even better, drop it, and play 'Jacksie'. which I don't
think I've seen live.

True, but they throw things in for the fans sometimes, too. Take the
special extra encore of 'Rhapsodie' with just Karin & Linford in Kent.
They hadn't played that one in well over a year, according to my
records.
