Songs better live vs. studio and vice versa (only arbitrary, keep it civil!)

I Got Shit is top of my list for better studio vs. live
Others that come to mind: Breath and All Those Yesterdays

As far as live vs studio: i prefer pretty much all of their songs live, but the two that "surprised" me the most when i heard them live in person were All Night and Let the Records play.  

I Got Id was the first to come to mind. Top 10 studio song for me. Just okay live.

I Got ID! Ed, Jack, NEIL YOUNG, and Brendan O' Brien. Now that's a super group!

I will say I Got Id sounded great at Ohana live and on the Touring Band 2000 DVD

Yes to both. What an awesome surprise when the opening chords were played at Ohana. It's also one of my favorite PJ songs to play on guitar.

Very similar to NY's Cinnamon Girl. Also fun to play!

Samesies. Try learning it on the ukulele as well.

no way and all those yesterdays are much better studio, for some reason they can't nail these two live.  
porch and blood are both better live.

Studio over live:
RearViewMirror  - not bad live but absolutely killer studio
I am Mine -  just never seemed to work live for me - too many guitars maybe
Gone - really liked the song on studio version but haven't heard a good live version yet



better live than studio (most songs to me but a few that stand out to me):
Inside Job - killer live. just ok studio for me
Do the Evolution - can't get into the studio version
Not for You - not bad studio but love it live.
Present Tense - one of the best live in my opinion
Nothing as it Seems - again not bad studio but really comes across great live to me
Unemployable

For me, 99.9% of the songs are better live. One song that I do not love live is light years, they seem to struggle with the tempo at times. 

I feel similarly.   Like them both ways but almost always prefer live versions

Agree 100%, unless it’s 1992.
