    This thread makes me want to go home and spin "SEVENS".....

    I thought the Lightning Bolt pressing was garbage but Sevens sounded really good.

    it was hardly played on the last tour seeing as it was there last album personally i like it
    They have toured it to death.  Probably giving it a lil bit of a break.  
    Certainly not giving the actual song “Lighting Bolt” a break. They are playing the shit out of it as if it’s their greatest hit. My bathroom break song now.
    Funny thing, Insignificance used to be my bathroom song. Now I’m starving for it.

    Surprised My father’s son doesn’t get more love, great song live check it out.
    I heard it in LA Night 2 in 2013 and I actually thought that it didn't translate as well live as it does in the studio recording!  Maybe because it was tuned down a half step, or the atmospheric guitar parts not being as prominent from the stadium acoustics.  Just my own opinion on that one of course!  It wasn't bad by any means though

    That one is pretty rough studio and live. 
    I'm in agreement with you here (once again!). I don't get the love for this song but to each his/her own.

    Getaway, however, is great in the studio - but not so good live (same with Infallible).

    I don't really like LB (the song) on the album but it's pretty solid live. 

    Pendulum, to me, is the only great "all round" track off LB.

    That's crazy - although I went six straight shows from 2011 to Seattle this year without seeing it either!

    Or Missoula! No Last Kiss at any shows either. Two of my least favorites live.

    Eddie seems to play Last Kiss at his solo shows nowadays though, doesn't he? That's a good place for that song to be performed instead I think.

    Terrible album compared to the others. 3 maybe 4 songs that are great. After that. Jeez
    Couldn't agreee more. And you're being very generous with the 3 or 4 being great.

    I’m over the song Lightning Bolt as well. Not sure why it gets so much love from the band.
