messalina79 posted on youtube the audio of Leonard singing Don't Go Home With Your Hard On from a Bryn Mawr performance in 1975. This is a very different version of the song than what is on DOLM, as messalina79 describes, a "slower and with a lilting rhythm" version.

Re: A Different Don't Go Home With Your Hard On
The slowness of this version would have made sure he went go home exactly as the title of the song suggests. To go to sleep ! Most L C songs need to be sung slowly but in my opinion this isn't one of them . Much prefer the original

Re: A Different Don't Go Home With Your Hard On
I have always liked this song (in part because LC's wit is so evident in the lyrics) and I couldn't help but listen to this version repeatedly. In doing so, I found myself enjoying the bluesy overtones. Now I feel I've got 'another' LC song to enjoy even though they are one and the same.
Thank you for the link Marie!
Kindest regards,
Mary
(P.S. Messalina has put a number of interesting LC items on youtube. Is this a forum member?)

Re: A Different Don't Go Home With Your Hard On
Glad you have liked the videos - I have been putting up ones that I have particularly enjoyed as I explore Leonard's live material (I always thought I didn't like live performances till I was utterly blown away seeing Leonard in 2008, so I have been rapidly making up for my previous lack of interest in this area
)
