Here is something kinda interesting to observe. I have uploaded the original DVD version of "Boundless Love" from "Travelin' Live," then did a remix replacing the DVD audio with that of the final album cut as it was released on LP. Someone mentioned before that they felt that the DVD and the LP came from different concerts. These videos will prove that they did indeed come from the same show, but some songs were [heavily] overdubbed.
Video #1 - Unedited Version
This was done live with no edits. It does not have the synthesizer in the mix, and the vocals are much more raw (uneven cutoffs, slightly pitchy). There is also no applause before the song starts. This appears to be exactly what the audience saw that night.
Video #2 - Edited Version
I took the track from the LP (well, from the Collection CD) and replaced the DVD audio. Not only is the tempo identical (which is nigh on impossible with live performances unless they have a track or metronome, neither of which appear to be the case), but George's cues ("Do that trio part again for me....") are dead on. You'll notice that I pulled the footage from the second verse to repeat so it matches what was done on the CD (which was apparently fixed in post production).

Hmm... that's some interesting stuff. I can see why that particular song was over-dubbed in the final release of the CD. Most obviously, the flubbed start of the encore, but I noticed some other issues as well. For example, when George would come in with his "Touches Me", it sounded positively nasally. "Tuches May"
A great rendition (and the very first) of a great song, but it's nice to see the two different versions. Great post.
It looks to me like Glen is reading the words to the verses from cue cards on the front row. Watch it again and see if you think so. There is an over-the-shoulder camera shot from on-stage where they MAY be visible, but I can’t tell from the degraded YouTube quality. I’ve got this video at home, but haven’t watched it in a few years. I may dig it out and see if I can make out any cue cards.
That wouldn't surprise me. George looks like he's doing the same thing on "Gonna Be Movin'."
This has become an epidemic in itself....the GAITHER TELEPROMPTER....I feel another post coming on....
