Easily Space Dye Vest, but I also love The Best Of Times. One of their finest songs from the second half of their career.

Quote from: Stadler on February 08, 2025, 12:49:43 PMI wouldn't argue this.

The Shattered Fortress for sure

TBOT would be good too...

We will never see these live  >:(

Don't Look Pas Me, by a landslide. Top 10 song for me.

@Blob: Disappear was only played twice  :'( (both captured on various recording, though)

Damn, and I thought I'd covered my bases with giving 2 numbers. Maybe I should bother to check next time. :lol
I've only heard the Budokan performance, but it was too fast and didn't sound as good anyway. In fact, a lot of SDOIT doesn't quite sound right live to me. It's just too layered and complex.

Shattered Fortress!

I agree with your Six Degrees thought. Score is probably the best version of the title track but the orchestra was not up to par. They were out of the tune and not playing all the parts. Blind Faith on Chaos in Motion doesn't come close to the studio. The Great Debate was awesome on this tour but there's something about the Jame's voice on the studio that you can't replicate live. He did the best he could and sounded great otherwise.

I've never heard/seen a live Misunderstood so I don't know about that one.

?

Oops, I forgot Lost Not Forgotten and This is the Life! However, I'm sure those 2 will be played at some point, or at least the chances of hearing them live are much bigger than with these 4 (obscure B-side and songs with too personal lyrics).

SDV has been played live. Not as part of a DT show though. Check it out.

Yes, but that wasn't a DT show; it was just Jordan and James so we've yet to see a performance of SDV with Kevin Moore and/or the full band.

The Best of Times, but I haven't heard Don't Look Past Me.

So Hell's Kitchen is played live? Give me a video!!!

Where's Eve? I think they used to play it regularly as aftershow music, but still.

Eve has been played live.  It was played at the Rotterdam fanclub show that preceded the Once in a Livetime show on the FII tour.  This recording is on the 1998 Fanclub CD.  It was also on one of the official bootlegs.  Looking at the MP Tourography, it looks like it was played 5 times in in 1998, and a whole bunch of times in 1993.

Must see Best of Times solo, someway, somehow....but prolly won't.
