    Participation is still on a low level which is leading to somewhat random results from the voting.
    I have decided to only dismiss "Hands Up" for round 3, but not to use a tie-breaker on "Just the Smile" vs. "Sinner Boy"; both tracks will move to round 4; in return, we will keep up voting off two tracks also for round 4.

    Discussion question:
    Are there any favorite live versions of tracks from Rory Gallagher's debut album that you would prefer over the studio versions?
    What about demo versions or other studio versions? Do you know any (e.g. from bonus tracks of CD reissues, compilations, etc.) that you are particularly fond of?

    ...
    06) Hands Up (round 3)
    07) It's You (round 2)
    08) I'm Not Surprised (round 2)
    09) Wave Myself Goodbye (round 1)
    09) Can't Believe It's True (round 1)

    Just The Smile and For The Last Time again.

    I like the cover of It Takes Time which by Otis Rush which was a bonus track on a cd reissue of the Rory Gallagher lp.

    "Just the Smile" and "Sinner Boy" to go in round 4.

    I think that Rory Gallagher's debut album is just perfect as it is.
    Cannot think of any live versions or studio outtakes that would surpass the versions included on "Rory Gallagher".
