good topic!
i agree with many here and as i read responses i keep remembering more and more songs that sound better live:
ISA definitely - any live version is spectacular (and there are so many different ones), while album version is just plain boring
Come - album version is not bad, but different live versions are spectacular - same as ISA, real show-stopper
Murrow - Soundstage version is much better than album
World Turning (if we could just get rid of the 10-min drum solo
)
Eyes Of The World - Live in Boston version is pure perfection (live Mirage one not so much)
Big Love - no comparison there! showpiece live
The Chain
Beautiful Child - hormonies live are beautiful, i miss them on the album
Storms - see BC
Gold Dust Woman (although i think Courtney Love's version gives it interesting, deep, rocking, and great twist)
I disagree with Second Hand News being better live - there are tons of crappy live versions and just some more recent versions were good, while i can never tire of the studio version - pure pop perfection.
Similar with Hold Me (neither demo or live versions can even approach the perfect pop album version).
I have never heard a bad version of Bleed to Love Her - on the album, demo, live with the band, live solo, it's always perfect and always slightly different.
