1. Standing In The Rain 2. Turn To Stone 3. It's Over
4. Sweet Talkin Woman 5. Across The Border 6. Steppin Out
7. Sweet Is The Night 8. Birmingham Blues 9. Wild West Hero
10. Night In The City 11. Starlight 12. Mr Blue Sky
I'd call this modified album "Concerto For A Rainy Day".
It starts with a rain song and ends with a sun song.
With tears in my eyes and an aching in my heart I cut Jungle, Believe Me Now, The Whale, Big Wheels and Summer and Lightning. As much as I love Out Of The Blue, I really do feel (these days) that those 5 songs are slight filler (I know I am going to be crucified now), and the 12 songs listed above creates a much deeper listening experience for me.
It always bothered me that OOTB did not end with Mr Blue Sky.
Anyway, I love the flow of what I proposed above. I think of it as 4 sides still.
It's a slow day today, ok?
Thoughts?

Eliminate "Big Wheels?" NEVER!!!!!!! I like "Jungle" now, too, so that one's a keeper for me! Ditch "Starlight" and "The Whale" if anything.

I always loved Starlight. That one is an overlooked gem imho.

I think Starlight is one of the prettiest songs I've heard. I can count Jeff's songs I could do without on one hand. Not bad for 50 years of music.

1- Sweet talking Woman 2- Starlight 3- Jungle 4- Believe me now 5- Steppin' out 6- Standing in the rain 7- Summer and Lightning 8- Sweet is the Night 9- Birmingham Blues 10- Wild West Hero 11- Latitude 88 North
I'd discard all of the others, but if I had to make it to 12, the one missing should come out of "Big Wheels" or "Mr. Blue Sky".

Come on, eloneen, you are always too perfect and civil. You should let me induce you to crime once in a while.

@ole , Get rid of “Wild West Hero”.
I’m shaky on “Summer and Lighting”, because I like Jeff vocals. I like when he “powerhouses”.
Funny, I had to think about “Believe Me Now” and OOTB has been on rotation for a while. So, I agree with that choice.
“The Whale”? Lazy. Now, “Jungle” had to rammed down me throat by Helmut83 to appreciate it. Something about cord changes. I don’t know. I’ll put up with it. Same way I feel about “Mr Blue Sky”. Ya, “Starlight” is excellent.
“Standing In The Rain” is perfect for an opening song. Sucks you in.

Helmut83 . "Latitude 88 North" would be perfect on the original OOTB.

That's nothing! I don't like -or, to be more accurate, I seriously dislike- "Turn to Stone", which according to most fans here is something even more sacrilegious.
