Well said. It's also some of Ed's best lyrics. I fucking adore Small Town.

All of that might be true, but I have no desire to hear this song again. Especially in concert.

I only vote on studio versions of these songs. The concert angle has no affect on how I vote. But I do understand why someone would be tired of the song live. I don't agree but I do get it.


same. studio versions only for me. i always hated that i loved Small Town. it was everything that PJ wasn't at the time. especially when Vitalogy came out. but i alwayd did love it, deep down. i don't like hearing the live version, unless you're there, and it's pretty good.

i remember the first time my wife went to a PJ show with me, and the lights came on when the crowd screamed, "HELLO". i think she looked around and went, "Wow..."

That’s kind of a cool moment. I typically vote just on the studio version too, but my overall feeling for a song can be enhanced or diminished by particularly good or bad live experience.

I’ll put it this way, back in the mid 90s Small Town would have been an easy favorite of mine. Solid on the album, awesome live performances. Good shit. After 20 years of Ed sounding shittier and shittier, and crowds taking over vocals, and blah blah blah blah blah ... I just don’t fucking care anymore. And it sucks now. I can’t really even enjoy the album version anymore either. And by the way, same can be said for Indifference.

Blood and Indifference.

Blood is the easy choice here. Indifference used to be a top 5, and is still amazing, but look at what it's up against.

Same. I enjoy taking people to shows who have never been, because they are consistently awed by what we take for granted

That and the DTE Hallelujah and the GTF arms wide open.
