When I listen to this song I feel like I should be driving some old car through a sunny desert very fast. Then I picture myself stopping on the side of a road to help a beautiful girl change her tire. Then we dance as the song plays in the middle of the road.

Am I the only one?

Which version do you like better? I'm a huge fan of the Kitchen Tapes one far more than on DW.

In any case, I definitely think the next time you see a beautiful girl pulled over you should stop, fix her tire, and then dance to Modern Age. I love the picture that's in my head of this 60s sort of dance in the middle of the road.

As for your question, I have only heard the "Devil's Workshop" version of the song. But can it get any better than that?

There's also a live version from a Mark Radcliffe session in '96 that's very good, and an acoustic version recorded for the French radio the same year that's excellent too.

There was some sort of acoustic live version on the FTP. I used to play along with Frank on this one, without the evil Catholics fooling around.

I've got two:

Palo Alto 03-03-95. Fine playing and singing with the Catholics, but low sound quality.

Interfm Radio Session 1996-01-10. That was the one I was talking about.

I have a full band (studio?) version which is much better than the one on DW.
I don't know where it's from though.
