Alive (Drop In The Park 1992-09-20) vs. Habit (Fresno 2000-10-27)

It's so hard to listen to Eddie shred his vocals like that, and it doesn't sound that good. I prefer the studio version, which better captures the unhinged and furious nature of the performance while somehow making the whole thing melodic. That's not happening here (and I don't like the extended pause before the final chorus/outro).


Not the version of Alive I would have picked, but still incredible pretty much top to bottom.. The outro of Alive always makes me wish I was at a show. Without question it is always the highlight.

Alive seems to have been stripped from the concerts on youtube. If someone finds actual video of the performance please post it.

They were so great in 2000....but Alive.

The Alive outro makes this an easy vote over Habit. It's one of those moments in a show that can really develop into something that feels like catharsis. And at that point, I'm not sure what more I could ask of from a concert.

Habit for me. Love it.

Alive from back then kicked ass

Yeah, but so did Habit from 2000.

Voted for Alive.

one of the things i'm willing to admit this board changed my mind about was habit. habit fucking rules so hard.

If it wasn't for the "speaking as a child of the 90's" line it would be in my top 20-25. The guitars are great.

Habit

it's a hurricane man

Alive gets the vote here.
