great name but i've never had an urge to listen to this band. never hear anyone talk about them either, though i'm assuming they have fans

i heard this version first and was so disappointed by the studio version

The Cure's Charlotte Sometimes. Any live rendition decimates the shitty studio recording really, but especially this one:

They had a reasonable amount of buzz in the mid 2000s when they peaked. They were on some soundtracks. They did a song with David Bowie.

>>127725277
Honestly this is so true. Don't know if it was them or the label but they massively dropped the ball

>>127726474
You could say the same of literally every song from either of their live albums.

>>127725277
I too have never met a fan either. I guess they kind of were seen as anomaly being black dudes doing noisy indie rock which usually is the domain of balding ytbois.

Most if not all of Made In Japan betters the studio recordings of Deep Purple.

MIJ Highway Star smokes the studio version

>>127726668
So true, the studio stuff sounds so wimpy in comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGhPaJw8p6c

Even though the sound guy forgot to turn his mic on at the start it's still 11/10

Holy fuck, the dude clearly has a bad cold but the show must go on. Respect

Studio version sounds paper thin, this performance is gorgeous

Renders the studio version obsolete

Unironically this mogs the studio version:

TVotR's records have always left me kind of "meh" but I saw the live a few years ago w/ Dirtbombs opening up and both bands were freaking amazing. Definitely worth seeing live.

>>127725277
Dear Science is one of my favorite albums

>>127730636
Yeah man, lots of artists I can find maybe one or two songs where a live version kills the album recording but for some reason TVotR is like their mojo just can’t be captured in the studio at all or something

>>127724710 (OP)
Any live version of “Rhiannon”, but especially the one on Rumours Live.

Great pick, damned thing still gets me every time

Good one, I had to go back and listen to the album track again after and I gotta agree with you it hits harder. The live version somehow feels more timeless without the 80s production

>>127727217

lol classic example, not that into the band but do love that track he did with Badbadnotgood

>>127727270

Good one, speaking of Belew I always loved the Munich version of Sheltering Sky better than the album

I feel the same about TVotR from my OP and King Crimson, some bands “thing” just can’t seem to be captured in the studio at all, would like more examples of that phenomenon

>>127725277
I used to be obsessed with them alongside LCD Soundsystem but both stopped releasing music altogether

I used to say that about Sleepytime Gorilla Museum until their most recent record, which is excellent.

Most of their studio albums were "meh" but live they were jaw-dropping amazing every time I saw them.

>>127725277
Seeds is an underrated album, its like a solid 8/10

>>127736211
careful you is a banger

Without a doubt the hardest I ever heard them and I've seen them live 18 times

God look at that stupid fucking costume he's wearing. Nu metal was a mistake

>>127725277
I still like their first few albums, was not into Nine Types of Light. They are like a lot of experimental rock bands, you either like their schtick or you don't

speaking of Letterman. close enough no?

>>127736424
Most grating frontman of all time

Mama Said Knock You Out on LL Unplugged

>>127725277
Terrible. Abrasive, no melody, braying vocals.

>>127730636
The real Filter instance of this phenomenon is Stuck in Here on their first tour. Should be that version on the record.

>>127724710 (OP)
Any Godflesh songs off Pure

i love these fuckers so much
