Listening to 'Last Exit' on Let's Play Two this morning. Struck me how this song has not really lost much of it's originality so to speak - meaning through the years, when it's played, it still sounds as fresh as when they first started playing it in 94/95. What other song hasn't lost it's 'touch' through the life of the band in your opinion?

    Release. When they play it live it is just as magical as the first time I heard them do it in 1994.

    Exactly - Release will never lose that magic. Ed always sings it with such soul.

    With exception to Ed not quite able to reach those higher notes like he used to, yes!

    got me into them and is still their coolest song IMO. They still perform it well.  I think when the chorus vanished their may have been some fatigue but it never stopped being powerful in a live setting to me.  At some point he added those “heeeeeee’s” to it but that works too :lol:

    It CRUSHES live. Every single time. The opening bass pops the crowd as much if not more than any song in their catalog.

    Isnt this an example of the opposite of what the TS wanted examples of.

    Not that bridge from the last tour...ugh I hate it.
    Alive?  Man that ending is definitely different with the crowd interaction and the way mccready solos.
