To Live Forever appreciation thread
« on: May 22, 2013, 10:48:36 AM »
I didn't find any appreciation thread for what I consider one of the best songs by DT. The idea of starting this topic came into my mind after hearing a wonderful version of the song. James is sooo back in this last tour and I felt so happy listening to this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXcb-WvK2wc

One of their best B-sides and the jam in the LIT version is easily the best song extension they've had on any live release.

Their best B side IMHO.

You also linked that version like 5 or 4 months ago, but I didn't care too much about that jam - sorry!

My favorite B-Side, with Don't Look Past Me (With JLB) second. When I saw them perform it in NY last year, I almost cried from joy, literally. My friend was giving me a puzzled look that was just priceless.

I love Charlie Dominici's voice but much prefer James.  With that said, To Live Forever is at its peak with Charlie at the helm.  The version on WDADRU is beyond amazing.

It's just a great song, and there are no bad versions of it.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Same tour as the one Marco posted. :tup

I like it a lot.  Both studio and live versions.
