Sailing (again)

[DurhamGirl]

Just listened to Axl singing Sailing in 2006, out of this world, almost made me cry at how amazing a singer he was.  Did Rod Steward sing with him does anybody know and is this the only time he sang it?  Also is it on CD?

He sang it twice in that year, maybe back to back shows?  He hasn't sang it since then or before then as far as I know.  Rod Stewart was not involved.

It was the same night/morning, they played an acoustic set at a club after the Wembley arena show. Here's the acoustic version.

I remember two versions, didn't remember that one of them was acoustic.  Probably because the quality is so poor on the second version so I didn't listen to it much back then.  The slightly different vocal melodies are interesting, and he seems to hit impossibly high notes in part of this, don't you think?

It's not on CD.

It would be cool if they released a studio version. I'd like the same for Wichita Lineman.
