    For me, it's DTE. (I can hear the shocked intakes of breath already!)

    The studio version does nothing for me (and still doesn't). But man does this song rock me out live.

    (OK .. everyone can stop laughing and pointing now ....) :oops:

    Half Full (hoping that seeing it on Showbox DVD counts as "seeing it live") :)

    all the songs they played during the acoustic set of "the experiment" at Mansfield '03
    Good evening...

    A lot of people didn't/don't like inside job. I don't get it. I've loved it since my first listen.

    1/2 Full is probably BETTER live, but I've always liked it as well.

    and, yeah, Arc on the solo tour was shiver inducing! :mrgreen:

    Last Kiss Sydney 3 2006. I never hated it, but the atmosphere of that night was something special. A campfire as Ed put it.

    WMA

    Why Go

    Songs I think are much better live:

    Lukin
    Green Disease (possibly my least favorite PJ song, but I have to say it rocked at Philly 1)
    Bugs :lol:

    Song I never disliked, but was blown away by live:

    Immortality -- again, at Philly 1. As much as everyone talks about Philly 3 and Philly 4, this song was the standout performance for me

    Glorfied G - Didn't really care for it until they started to bring it back in 03. Now I really like to hear it. Not one of my favorites, but definitely appreciate it.

    Dissident was a song I really loved, then kind of stopped. But, a few years ago, Eddie started to sing it a little differently, which adds something to it.

    Who You Are, never liked the studio version, saw it in 2008 a couple of times, and its infinitely better live.

    WMA- the reworked version from 2008 was awesome, the studio bores me at times

    1/2 Full is a ton better live

    Unthought Known is an amazing song, and brought to an even more extraordinary level live.
    32 shows and counting...

    Can't Keep - I never thought much of it and then when they opened in Hartford with it last year, I was just blown away, gave me a new respect for it, and got me listening to Riot Act again which I never listened to before.

    I never paid any attention to Inside Job until I saw it live in Philly and it blew me away.

    Many, but 'Oceans' easily comes to mind. Hearing it for the first and only time in 05' gave me goose bumps.

    Help, Help - skipped on the album, thought it was pretty cool live

    Garden - love the album version but live is amazing

    Grievance - great, great song that sounds like shit on the album. 150 x better live! This is pure rock n' roll.

    No Way - again the album version is good, but live this song was fucking amazing

    Push Me, Pull Me - same reasoning as "No Way"

    Only been to one show, and 2 of them there made me appreciate those songs so much more:

    All Night - still don't like album version, but love the back and forth "Got all night!"'s between Eddie and the others when done live

    Spin the Black Circle - didn't like much of Vitalogy until I saw this one. It kicked my ass and was the highlight for me (not my fave that they played, but loved it the most that night). I now pretty much love all of that album.

    Insignificance.

    I've always thought it was okay but when I first witnessed it live I was like "holy shit...that fucking ROCKS!"
