Re: Live versions that own the studio version
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Layla - Eric Claptop, unplugged. [/ QUOTE ] ROFL, wtf? Unplugged version is awful and even if you thought it was good, it would take an actual removal of your testicles for any reasonable person to think it is better than the original. Jesus Christ. [/ QUOTE ] Wow, what a dick. Although it appears I'm alone on this, at least everyone else was able to be civil. I also preferred old love on the unplugged disk as well.

Re: Live versions that own the studio version
pink floyd anything and everything. Im not talking about live albums; pulse, pompey, etc.. im talking bootlegs of echoes, SOYCD etc..
LZ has some sick versions of a whole lotta love, moby dick, dazed, etc.. eagles- hotel cali jazz version. (although studio solo pawns) chili peppers- thats more of a visual thing. audiowise it sucks. metallica + SF symphony was different. not better. Although they do have some sweet live versions like "last caress/ green hill" and "bell tolls" (live in mexico I think) kiss - fake live album is okey. the whooooo - woodstock (i think) substitute + a quick one while he's away = amazing

[ QUOTE ] Cheap Trick "I wan't you. to wan't me." The studio version sucks. [/ QUOTE ] wow, the version i know i always assumed was studio w/ the audience cheers dubbed in. the music is so good and the crowd is on so much on cue it sounds almost contrived. i just wikied it and learned something today. so ill second your vote. [/ QUOTE ] huh, after reading more songs today i have to say peter frampton is an excellent choice. as is rolling stone "midnight rambler". there have been some excellent songs mentioned in this thread...and others that are absolutely awful.

The thing with the Dead is that their songs really aren't designed to be 5 minute radio-friendly pieces. Obviously 99% of their tunes sound way better live (I agree with the poster above re: Friend of the Devil studio version), but I think the case could be made that their live tunes aren't even the same song as the studio versions. Phish is another excellent example of this - especially when they stretch a normally short tune (i.e. Tweezer) into a 40-minute epic live.

[/ QUOTE ] You are not alone, I agree with you that the acoustic version is much better and that quoted noob is a dick. This one is a matter of taste. I for one like the slower, more soulful feel of the acoustic. I also prefer the sound of mother nature to that of machines (acoustic over electric). Back to the OP's question; Dave Matthews Band is a great example. They are a jam band and just can't capture their sound very well in the studio. I am a huge DMB fan and I don't listen to their studio stuff ever. That's how much better the live stuff is.

[/ QUOTE ] and then there groups like Radiohead, who go on tour to play their new songs before they release the studio albums. they do this to get a better feel for the songs, see how they work live, etc.
