There are a number of songs that are not as good live as they used to be. GYOW is my favorite Mac song of all and I really don't care to listen to it live at any point past the Mirage tour. That said it's still not terrible, a lot of what's great about it is the instrumentation and that all still sounds good. For me the one that suffers the most is "Rhiannon", it's a shell of its former self. "Dreams" is noticeable because of that high note, but it always was a mellow song anyway (I don't deny that the groove is not as good, though). But "Rhiannon" should be a power showcase in my mind and, for obvious and understandable reasons, it just isn't. NGBA is a close second -- Lindsey, why?
I like "Big Love" acoustic but I agree that the sex sounds could go.
