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. At which time their 'music' had evolved from long noisy jams like L.A.Blues which was probably reigned in in the studio. 35 years later the players had all been involved in straighter r'n'r so probably weren't 'going for it' in the same way, which is what you saw.
If you see where I'm coming from.
