85 weeks. I decided I didn't like that song and then, one amazing Catholic night, I realized I was a moron, the song rocks. Anybody else have a similar story of "getting" a song only after seeing it performed live?
yeah, just another cheap attempt to create another pro-Catholics thread

| 666. I had heard it and liked it before, but for some reason when I saw it live it rocked my world. |

I second The Snake and Skeleton Man. Also I Burn Today (though I haven't seen it played live, only heard it).

So many songs. I Want Rock and Roll. 666 (only after seeing it live on this tour). Any of the Honeycomb songs I've heard live.

Great topic Kathryn!
SPEEDY MARIE finally made sense when I saw him perform it with the Catholics in '98.

Can't think of many that bloomed for me live. Maybe "Two Reelers." Watching him play the guitar really helps.
On a related note: Many of the songs that Brian and Dean have broken down on their podcasts have grown new legs for me. Examples: "85 Weeks," "Ana," "Nadine."
 Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho? |

"I Bleed" completely took me by surprise on the reunion-show 2004, "Adda Lee" hit me in the street while listening to the "Black Is Beautiful" version. I never saw these two coming...
And "Two Reelers". It didn't do zip fo me before, but it never really caught my attention either. On one of the podcasts was this wonderfull live version that completely changed my appreciation of this song. |

-I'll Be Blue (the "Like Jesus Christ on the hill" line didn't really hit me as one of his best lines ever until I saw it live. Being crucified being described as being "blue"? Biggest ironic understatement of all time?)
-Czar (don't know why, but it was my least fave song on the album till I saw it live and he explained it was about John Denver)
-I Need Peace (which I like before, but when he sang it with John Doe, it was the best)
-The Jaques Tati (heard it live first, but never would have liked it if I hadn't seen it live)
Bonus Cut: The Man Who Was Too Loud - version with Teenage Fanclub rocks the most. I dind't care for the song at all till I heard that version. And The Jaques Tati. And Sister Isabel. Hell, they should start a super-group. and with John Doe!

all of the Honeycomb and Fastman/Raiderman tunes have hit me this way
many of them I liked allready - but loved after I heard them live. Others I didn't care for at first, but grew to appreciate after seeing them live
"Pittsburgh" especially - but also "My Life is In Storage"
- and "Sing For Joy" is another biggy in that vain. There's something about when he plays it live - that you can just feel that He likes it so much. You know he closed out most of his shows on this last tour with this one and called it "his big Opus" (or something like that) in an interview. Just knowing that he thought so highly of it made me give it a closer listen - and the live versions make me feel more of what he sees in it
one tune I love on Honeycomb that I've yet to hear of him playing live is "Atom In My Heart" |

Broken Face, you said it. I didnt like living on sould or remake/remodel at all until this last tour. But he blew the roof off with those songs. I wish i had those recordings because the studio remake/remodel isn't as rocking.
Good topic by the way. |

10%'r always annoyed me on the otherwise awesome Orange/Yellow album. I said it in my review of the show but I'll say it again. Live it was pretty kick ass.

My Terrible Ways and Nadine. Actually, I liked Nadine live but it was a lot happier. Like a song about girl he has a crush on. The recorded version is so much darker. I enjoy that deep pining for a girl you're unsure you can get.

Sing for Joy. It creeped me out in October whilst left me cold on CD. 666 rocked so much, I really do listen to it differently now. I Burn Today.
I am tempted to add Dead Man's Curve but that would be silly in the context of this topic. ;-)
Nadine is one hell of a song, live or not. The tension he shares with us (with me, anyway) is incredible. The "We'll park - I'll drive" is so clever. |

The Marsist. I loved the recorded version but didn't properly get it 'til I heard the podcast live acoustic version. Can someone arrange for every song I've ever loved to be recorded again in an acoustic version. I will be very grateful, thanks.

I wonder if people that don't like COR never saw those songs live. All that stuff was better when you saw Lyle Workman wailing. I didn't like most of that album till I saw it live, now that I think about it. The Adventure and the Resolution kicks especial ass when you realize there was no studio tricks, and Lyle can actually play all that right in front of you.
Marsist acoustic was definitely a fun treat. Who saw that coming?

| Changing the topic slightly, certain songs only really got me once I'd played them on guitar. 'Fazer Eyes', bafflingly as it seems now, just didn't appeal, until I was fooling around with the intro riff. It all came together. |

On this note I'll add The Sad Punk. No interest until I saw them do it live in 92. And like so many on this forum, I was really glad they dusted it off and played it in '05. |

The last tour made me appreciate two b-sides:
Living on Soul
Re-Make/Re-Model
