Listened to both these tracks, and the effect is one of bemusement.
As you say, it's not like hearing either of these versions makes me not prefer the original VH recordings of them. It's not even like when he did an acoustic version of Meanstreet on the BBQ that was different from the original recorded version, so at least there was the stylistic novelty of that. Even if he is recording new versions of the VH stuff and the backing band is highly competent, it's still the voice he has now.
