I know Matt doesn't start all of the songs, but do you think that they play faster because they know Matt will play more fast when he comes in?

I wanted to know what the opinion was regarding songs played live. I know they speed up a lot of their songs live. I like some of them faster than the studio versions, but I also dislike some of the songs when they are played at breakneck speed. I was listening to all of the boots I have from 1995 (my favorite tour), and could not believe how much more I liked the way some of the songs were played compared to the recent tours. Corduroy, Evenflow, Animal, Last Exit, to name a few, were sped up and sounded fantastic. In fact, The version of Go Night 1 in Salt Lake City is SLOWER than normal and it is by far my favorite version. Last tour, sometimes the Avocado songs were really fast and they were hard to enjoy. Oh well, enough of my rant. If anyone read through all of this I would like to know others' opinions. Peace

i love the way DTE sounds live. Its a bit faster live which makes t more......"rock out-able". The studio version i dont care for. LOVE the way PORCH and WHY GO sound in warped speed too! My favorite though is speed WASH!!!!

wonder if we'll ever get speed wash again.

Solat sounds fast like on the Gorge box set when I first heard it is when I realized it, while ususally at the show I wont notice as much.
