I have never really been a fan of "Do the Evolution", but hearing it live last month, I like it a lot better. I still find myself skipping the album version, but listening to the live version.

What songs do you like better live than on the album?

    Pretty much anything from Backspacer. I was decidedly tepid to the album until I heard them play a bunch of it live. Now I enjoy it a lot more.

    Could not agree more! DTE on boots seems so intense and amazing-- definitely more lackluster on the album (but not to say it's not good!)

    I've always liked Dissident live.

    Release is a no brainer...there is an energy given off that song live that just cannot be captured anywhere else.

    Long Road is an amazing live song.

    Low Light is another one for me.

    The Fixer (a perfect concert song)

    Corduroy... the buildup is even greater... each chord is struck even harder.... the solos are always perfect.... it's great when they play it towards the beginning of the show.....
