i'm sure we have the same version. i haven't listened in a while but i thougtht the quality was pretty decent.

although by "terrible live", i took his comment to mean that he thought they didn't play it well, not about the quality of the recording. it is my contention that they played it almost identical to the studio version

I was SO beyond excited when they played it in Vegas. It's really the very first favorite Foo song of mine; I loved it back when I was aware of the band but not yet really a fan, per se.

ah, i see.

for me, i would kill for a show where I got to hear the rarely played songs live.

not sure ... for me it was always TCATS or S/T but without listening to them in a long time, i now have more a desire to hear TNLTL than any of the others -- so I might have to agree w/ you. I can't think of a track on it that I don't love.

MIA is much better performed live, imo ... and I love the studio version.

That's mad, I love this song, completely forgot about this version. Sounds brilliant live.

Does anyone have a clip of Gimme Stitches live?

Have they played 4 corners live?

I'm glad you all enjoyed! As you can well imagine, this is one of my absolute favorite songs. I hope I get to see it live someday. I too love the live version, even though Dave's vocals are on the rough side by the end. It's a BEAR singing this song!! I also like the extra A in the tuning of the studio version, makes the droning strings sound that much nicer. Also the vinyl sound effects and filtered mic in the studio cut intro! "And this mix sounds like $#!T........To me. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD RECORD!!"

Dave said the offbeat rhythm with the vocals was too difficult to play.

No, but at least two of the songs that had the "7 corners" working title have been played live.....

7 corners is what I meant, but I was too lazy to find the correct number.

And which songs played live carried this "7 corners" working title label?

That's interesting. It's never bothered me when I play it out at an open mic. People get a little weirded out by the dark lyric, but it's such a fun groove to play.

I'm curious too.

New Wave? I know they had Knucklehead on one of their setlists too but skipped it and it pretty much disappeared after that. Unless it became My Tortured Soul, but I doubt that.

I think knucklehead became one of the 1x1 tracks, it was on setlists along with gun beside my bed that became overdrive. it's not impossible to become a probot track but I really doubt it, most of those songs don't fit in a FF record even when there's Dave style recognizable everywhere. that and the fact I just wrote about at the start of this text, makes sense to be on 1x1.

new wave was played on small clip, don't remember where, I think it was a series of videos like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMCEdU19J5I I used to have the MP3 but it got lost through time.

Did anyone ever pinpoint what song was playing in the background of the IYH dvd disc? I thought someone said that was New Wave, but I really don't see how someone would know unless they talked to a band member about it.
