    Present Tense. Heard it for the first time in London in 2007.  DIdn't care for it much up to that point, but now it's my second-fave, behind Release.
    Present Tense definitely sounds much better with the raw/live vocals from Eddie. The strain on his voice is pivotal to the song.

    Immortality -- I thought it was a good song, but live -- WOW.
    Very true. Plus it doesn't fade out at the end like it does on the album.

    Lightning Bolt. It took hearing it a few times live (did not like it that first time at Wrigley 2013) but now I love it.
     
    Me too. I was never a fan of this song but when I heard it the other night in Missoula and thought it was great

    Given To Fly, always dug the tune but once I heard it live took on a new life.

    It is amazing after playing Even Flow 800+ times and countless radio plays how the still turn that song into highlight every night. MM melting faces helps, Ed deepening the meaning to the song with his story on Sea night 1 too.

    I completely agree. I have heard it live a few times. I love when sometimes at the end of Mike's solo it sort of echoes, sounds amazing.
