Agreed. It was sweet in '92.

stip wrote: Ten Best: Release, Alive, or Jeremy. I don't know that I can choose. All three are magical in their way - the later two in part for the way the audience is worked into the song, but that is a part of the live experience Worst: Garden - it's a weaker song to begin with, and doesn't really generate any particularly striking energy to replace the lost atmosphere, which is the best part of the song Lighting Bolt Best: Lighting Bolt, for the addition of the full outro Worst: Probably Getaway or MFS - two songs that, to my knowledge, they've never been able to pull off live More later. I just wanted to give MJD something I love you stip |

TEN Best: Release. Best show opener, and one of my all time favorite songs. When performed well, it still gives me goose bumps. (Honorable Mention: Jeremy) Worst: Porch. Modern performances that go on for ten minutes bore the hell out of me. Vs. Best: Animal. It's a thousand pound sledgehammer to the chest. (Honorable Mention: Glorified G) Worst: Indifference. It's so boring and it completely sucks all energy out of the building. Vitalogy Best: Immortality. Worst: Corduroy. The call and response bullshit really ruined Corduroy for me. NoCode Best: In My Tree from Live at the Garden. Worst: Who You Are. Love the song with Jack, not so much with Matt. I may finish this out later. |

Given to Fly and Even Flow are obviously the top 2 |

If they keep that dumbass singalong in the middle of Corduroy, that's hands down number one. |

I refuse to believe the decline in Corduroy is worse than Given to Fly or Even Flow no matter how bad that singalong is |

maybe we should make a live playlist with only songs that have singalong/call and response moments that should narrow it down from 100+ songs to 95+ songs |

One of them they opened with it. At least they had nowhere to go but up from there. That was the full Vs. show so at least there was that |

See, I can't stand to her Elderly Woman live anymore. I hate the arrangement and I hate how he tries to sing the end refrain an octave higher. Can't stand it anymore. |
