Mick Ronson - I'd Give Anything To See You (studio & live - and absolutely stunning)

This is from Ronson's third solo album, Just Like This

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Like_This

which was recorded in late 1976, but not released by RCA in 1977 because they'd been disappointed with sales of his second solo album, Play Don't Worry. The third album wasn't finally released - and then got just a limited release from a small label - till 1999, six years after Ronson's death.

Studio track, then a live performance (audio only) from a concert in Buffalo in December 1976.

of Ronno creating music this good and then not having it released by his label.

He deserved much, much more success and credit than he received in his too-short life.

His playing is actually more interesting in the live cut!
Thought he sang it harder, too. Really works.
