    Quick Escape
    Too early for me to decide, but Dance, Escape and 7 o'clock are my favorites so far
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Yep.  I would choose this second behind SBWM.  I think these two have long-term staying power after the Gigaton tour is finished.  Both are pure rockers live.

    Prob. Seven O'Clock (or Quick Escape).

    The way Quick Escape starts just hits you with the guitars! SBWM would be my second choice.

    SBWM is damn good live too. Never Destination was great as well at SHN. Will be interesting to see which ones stick around.

    Too early to guess, especially without proper bootlegs, but I think Superblood really shines live.

    I knew that track would rock live the first time I heard the studio version. Stellar

    Quick Escape would’ve been an easy #1 but Eddie’s voice seemed a bit rough to hit the high notes (in fairness, he played 3 solo nights during Ohana so not surprised if he wasn’t going balls out).

    Retrograde sounded fantastic live, bonus points as an opener on a beach.

    Who Ever Said
    I thought all of the Gigaton songs sounded great and translated really well live (I was at SHN and both days of Ohana Encore). My top 3 are who ever said, seven o’clock, and quick escape. It was a close call for me but I ultimately went with who ever said because I didn’t think they would play it and when they did, the energy in the place was out of control.

    Went with WES, but there isn’t a live dud in the bunch. They might have to be careful with setlist placement for a couple of them, but they all sounded great.

    Haven’t heard them yet, so going to use up a couple of download codes (2). Just have to decide which two boots to grab once released. Think it will be Ohana 1 and maybe Ohana encore 1. ?? 🤔

    Loved SBWM live, got to hear it twice. Sentimental favorite is DOTC because I was at SHN, opening song chills…to finally get to see pj live again and hear new songs live was such a thrill.

    After having a quick listen to Ohana 1 and not having heard all the tracks, all the ones I’ve heard sound so good. Seven O’Clock and Quick Escape are early standouts.

    That’s how I feel about SBWM. Its not my favorite song on the album, but it is fantastic live. And Who Ever Said is second best live for me. Both are great.

    Quick Escape with a lot of love. This one is better on the album for me. Quite a good mix of live favorites out there, which is cool. We’ll have to see which ones have staying power.

    Feeling like SBWM will be the Mind Your Manners of this album’s rotation over time. Already has the natural audience clapping element built in and faster pace to liven up the crowd. But agree there wasn’t really a song that stuck out as something that isn’t good live.
  • RiotZactRiotZact Posts: 6,292
    Seven O'Clock
    I took the question as which song is more enhanced by its live performance. Quick Escape already blew my balls off with the studio version, so there really wasn’t much room for improvement. I thought 7OC and SBWM were taken to another level in their live performances.

    Can I vote for none of the above? Nothing against GT but they have 20 better songs from before this album and if they’re only playing 20 song sets I’d rather hear the other stuff.

    You have to let the album/CD keep playing for awhile after River Cross ends. Bonus track. 

    They named it that because if you placed it on the tracklist it it would qualify as “none of the above” songs that are listed.
