I'm sure it'd be entertaining live, but on record I just don't need it.
Light My Fire on Massive Attack's Protection. How such a great act could take such a great song and murder it like this is beyond me!
With you on Light My Fire on Protection. It just seems a really unimaginative arrangement of it and you're left thinking how they could've really Massively Attacked it instead.

Wow, EC, i think Suffragette City is one of the finest tracks he's done. I played my copy of Young American 7" to death just to play it. xx

Have you ever heard Jose Feliciano and Minnie Ripperton's version? One of the most grotesquely, hilariously awful cover verions I've ever heard, especially when they start improvising fake sexual innuendo towards each other at the end.

Oddly enough, I thought "LA Blues" was the only part of "Fun House" that didn't work when they played it live. A track that gives the impression of being so spontaneously cooked up in the studio just couldn't be reproduced onstage without sounding contrived and over-rehearsed. The rest of the show was pretty good, mind.
Interesting, think what the earlier poster was referring to was the original live era not the reunion tours. So what you were hearing was a recreated mimicking of something that had worked for the same players 35+ years earlier.
If you see where I'm coming from.

Indeed - and it showed. Wish I'd been more than a foetus when they originally toured that album.

586 for me. Always thought it was a bit rubbish, though I seem to recall liking the Peel version more (mind you, not heard it in some time).

One that comes to mind immediately is "Everybody Hurts" off of AFTP. Yikes, bad move, Mr. Stipe.

I think "Holy Love" doesn't really fit on 'Fried'. Not awful, but one of the few Cope songs I am indifferent to.

Ilike most of those, EC....music IS subjective after all!
