Studio Vs. Live
#1

Which track(s) do you think work better as a Studio version, and which work better Live? For me...

Studio: In View
Live: Silver Jet

I find it interesting how hearing a track live can totally change your oppinion (usually for the better) of a song.

I remember being impressed by 700 ft. ceiling at my 1st Hip concert in 97. It was at the Molson Center (now Bell Center), and I remember wondering how come I never liked that song more... They had a bunch of spotlights lighting up the whole... ceiling at key moments during the song. Something in, huh, my lungs (second hand of course...yes) made me think that was reallllllly coooool....

More recently, I was wowd by Don't wake daddy last month at Metropolis. (funny they're both from TATH)

I can't think of a song I prefer in studio version... really like their live sound.

it seems like alot of people are picking more accoustic-type songs as the ones they like better as studio versions...

studio: titanic terrarium

live: lake fever

Live:
"Grace, Too" (sooo much better live that I can't listen to the studio version anymore)
"Thugs" (I love the manic guitar and drums after the first chorus)
"At the Hundredth Meridian"
"Poets"
"The Last of the Unplucked Gems"
"Lake Fever"

Studio:
"In View" (it just sounds so bland live)
"Wheat Kings"
"Long Time Running"

I experienced this with many songs; "Eldorado", "Looking for a Place to Happen", "Don't Wake Daddy", and "Sharks" just to name a few.

I love the new ad-lib that has been added in the past couple of years ...

"past whispers in the closet -- C'MON!! -- past screaming from the rooftops"

which has replaced the "the blues are still required -- that's right -- the blues are still required again"

A tough choice because some earlier songs sounded incredible live back in the day, but don't sound as great nowadays.

Live:

It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken
Don't Wake Daddy
Springtime In Vienna
Sherpa
Lake Fever
Fully Completely

Studio:

Titanic Terrarium
The Rules
Wheat Kings
