superior live versions?

Every song on Joni Mitchell - Shadows and Light

Most songs by Neutral Milk Hotel or Jeff Mangum. His live performances hold a lot of emotion that you sometimes don't hear in the studio albums, such as a certain version of him playing Two Headed Boy. He also does a lot of alternate lyrics in the live sets.

Other than that, Radiohead's "I Might Be Wrong" Live EP has a lot of versions of songs that I prefer much more, Like Spinning Plates being the big one (the piano is absolutely beautiful).

'Deuce' -KISS ( from 1975's 'Alive' )

'Bullet The Blue Sky' -U2 ( from 1988's 'Rattle And Hum' )

'Any Way You Want It' -Journey ( from 1981's 'Captured' )

'Highway Star' -Deep Purple ( from 1973's 'Made In Japan' )

'Gypsy Queen' -Santana ( from 1977's 'Moonflower' )

'Suite Sister Mary'-Queensryche ( from 1991's 'Operation:LIVEcrime' )

'Closer To The Heart'-Rush ( from 1989's 'A Show Of Hands' AND
1981's 'Exit...Stage Left' )

'Green Manalishi'-Judas Priest ( from 1979's 'Unleashed In The East' )

I'm sure I'll think of more later! Great choices everybody!

I love this song regardless but the live version has so much energy. It's actually kind of weird considering they played for almost two hours without really moving or acknowledging the audience.

This, well - Stop Making Sense is one of the best live albums of all time IMO

I missed them this time (grrr) but if I recall, Radioactivity, Vitamin, and Tour De France were all pretty amazing live. I hate that it's already been ten years since I saw them, damn I'm old.

what was great about Radioactivity is they changed the song to include Fukushima...which i thought was just awesome and a serious nod to the people there

was this on the Minimum Maximum tour?

i wish they had played Vitamin....seeing 3D floating pills would have been a treat...they did Play Tour de France which is simply bike porn for me and made me realize i should have brought my bike for a midnight ride around the city

and stop with the old shit

i've seen your pictures.....you're a year younger than me and look at least 10 years younger if not more....and i bet you still have your entire intestinal tract
