Yellow Ledbetter for me.  I’ve always been a big fan of the studio version, but have never liked it live.  What other songs do people feel are better in the studio than live?

    Agree with In My Tree, but I also enjoy it live.

    Pretty much anything they don’t include in their setlists regularly 
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Oh wow. I think it's the opposite! To each his/her own.

    Crazy Mary for sure....although the 2000 performances were pretty solid.

    I agree. Present tense is so good live!

    Crazy Mary is so much better live to me. That’s what’s cool about this...so many different perspectives!

    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.

    Ledbetter is an absolute mess live. If I never hear it again, it will be a total blessing.
    SOLAT is one that has never really done it for me live, but love the studio version. It seems to lose its punch on stage.

    Check out the live version off the Daughter single or the 95’ SF version.

    Thanks man! Will do. I’d like to find a live version that I like.

    The early live versions were great. The Unplugged version is my absolute favorite. But I agree that it doesn’t pack the same punch live that it used to.

    Crazy Mary might be my single favorite studio performance. Live, mm, not necessarily a highlight of the show for me. Though, in relistening to the Spectrum 2009 shows, CM from then was especially good. I can second the 2000 tour comment too.

    Yeah the studio version of PT is very tame, almost too tame like All Those Yesterdays. It’s much more powerful live.

    I don’t think they ever recreated the studio magic they had on Corduroy. The Corduroy intro is at its best slow and introverted on the album. Best versions would definitely be from 95/96. Something about STBC was always lacking live. 

    I always liked the trancy ending where  McCready is very Wash like on the studio Crazy Mary. But it’s a fun song when they jam it out live as well.
