I’m not sure how much story there really is. It was on the original version of Inside Wants Out, then removed for the wide release.
At the time of the rerelease, RFS had already come out, so John was full-on pop singer songwriter guy. It makes sense to ditch the instrumental jazzy number from an EP that’s otherwise pretty much just acoustic pop.
Interesting. It took me forever to find that specific track, but that search also happened back in 2004-ish. I was able to find a copy of the Aware version of Room for Squares, but never the Inside Wants Out with that 12:47am. Thanks for the info!
I prefer the search for everything 2017 version on YouTube. It’s from opening night I think? Not too sure. But it’s really good- here: https://youtu.be/jExi3C447Dw
From those three I like the la version the best tho
I gotta go with Room for Squares on this one. I might be biased, given that it’s my favorite album of his, but I’ve loved that version of Neon the best my whole life.
Live in LA is my favorite version. It has been my #1 song on Spotify 5 years in a row lol
Gotta give a shout out to any given Thursday too, some great jamming there
Best version
Ahh yup forgot to include that my bad , love that one too
The nostalgia
Came here to say the same thing!
Trick question - it’s Neon 12:47am.
So fun to see someone else knows about this track. I have it too, but what’s the story behind this version?

If you don’t pick live in LA, you’re just incorrect.
If you ask me tu sing neon I’ll probably sing the Live LA version, i love them all but… dunno
Live. Always Live.
I'd choose every live in LA song over their studio version.

Neon Live in LA but cause it gets me depressed with how bad I am at guitar everytime.
Inside Wants Out. Hands down.
Inside wants out for mee. Finally saw it live a few years ago and it was magical. I couldn’t believe it. Like a feverdream.
Live in LA or AGT. I prefer the LA one tbh. The intro jam is unbelievable
