Does anyone know why MG didn't record on the 2 'later' Badfinger albums with Joey and Tom?

There's no short answer to that question. Mike was brought in during the "Airwaves" sessions but wasn't playing well and they ended up not using him. This likely created a little tension and probably contributed to him not being used on "Say No More" as well. Sometimes things just don't work out the way they should.

Woo Hoo! I love this. I saw this same lineup in 1987 except that Humble Pie's Jerry Shirley was playing drums instead of Mike. It was a fantastic show

great song by Joey! studio version needs to be released.

One of Joey's best songs. I absolutely love the opening riff..in the vein of "Hold On Loosely." Will we ever get to hear the original recorded demo of Call Me? One can only hope.

Yeah! A refreshing blast from the past. So good to hear again, and SEE! I always thought this was about Steve Craiter, but so few would really know. Great seeing Mike too. Thanks Barb!

I saw Joey in 1987. The same line up as this except Jerry Shirley was playing drums instead of Mike. I talked with Joe after show and he signed my copy of No Dice,as well as my ticket stub.He was very friendly and easy going. A couple of days later I found (and bought) a copy of After The Pearl. I didn't know about the album until that night because he played several songs - I recall that he did Too Late To Cry, Here Comes Heartache and possibly Dreams Of Thunder
