I mean out of all the bootlegs you own - do you actually have a single favorite song out of all of those live CDs combined? I think mine would be Black from State College in '03, & I own around 50 bootlegs.

    Porch from Melbourne '98. also there's a porch from Japan in '95 where they throw in a little "Catholic Boy" that kicks major ass as well.

    There are many, but one standout is Porch from Mansfield #2, '98 ... Mike's solo is crazy. Its damn near Hendrixian at points.

    can't choose between these 3:

    porch
    dissident
    last exit (I love the buildup to the line "let my spirit pass" and how he screams that line)

    there are others too that could be considered. I hate ranking things.

    They've played Alive at 2 of the 3 concerts I've attended and I've had a religious experience both times hearing that song live. So, I'll definitively say Alive is my #1 favorite song live (also my fave as a studio release).

    Good choice - I forgot about that one. I too had chills the 1st time I heard it.

    jeremy- state college 03 hands down.

    this song is what got me into playing bass, it's a great sing along at concerts, and he lets the audience sing practically the whole song while he howled. i dont care if people question my fandom for picking such an un-rare song, but i've always loved it and will continue to love it. the way he sings it, the way the audience helps out, the bass, guitar, the everything is just perfect.
