    Up until about 1995 every song live was equal to studio ,especially with Dave A playing drums 
    I think the list just grows year after year the decline in the live songs
    The early years were faultless live but of course being so young as a band and fresh that transpired into the live sets
    Still great live but the early stuff ,I believe is the greatest live music ever or equal too

    Otherside in Krakow > studio version by a large margin for me man. I heard it in Worcester as well and Krakow was amazing imo. The other ones I can agree with though Fatal is great live too. 
    Naw, maybe if they had played Otherside at Benaroya Hall. The same with Strangest Tribe.

    The mood and atmosphere of the slower Lost Dogs songs "can't" be recaptured live.

    I do not think they need to be recaptured at all but think that Otherside in Krakow is the definitive version and will be my go to when wanting to listen to it. Stand up Otherside needs to be played more.

    Studio Porch >>>>>>>> Live Porch, at least in recent years.  I cannot stand that choppy intro they play nowadays.

    I went crazy when they started it in Krakow - I loved it. 

    But there is just something about those songs on Lost Dogs. They're packaged in a production of pure magic. They, and Riot Act.

    Would have prefered it a bit slower/heavier live, but yeah:

  • Immortality.  Especially if Ed forgets the lyrics.  Plus the Bridge on the album sounds better than the live version bridge.

    Not really what was asked, but Binaural live vs Binaural studio through headphones are just 2 completely different experiences.. Love both

    Better version in the studio:
    Yellow Ledbetter
    Crazy Mary. I do not like Booms keyboards in the live version of Crazy Mary.

    Interesting. This is one I definitely prefer live. I even think many of the live versions have gotten better in recent years.

    They play it a little bit fast these days IMHO.

    98’ tour was when it was best. Now it’s just way too fast.

    Nah. A good live version (eg, Toronto 2000, Buffalo or Hartford 2013) wins for me. Concert versions often have that beautiful intro - and they don't end with a fade out like the studio version.

    GO and MY FATHERS SON are away better studio version
    I probably have to agree you on Go. That intro is killer.

    Yep. The intro in studio is the best. There were some very early live versions that are killer though. Aside from those, studio always wins.
