I've never actually seen FB live but after recently listening to a few different live version of 'The Man Who Was Too Loud' I appreciate the studio version a lot more. As it says in the tabs section, this is 'a masterpiece of a composition'! I don't think I even noticed how complex it was until looking at the chords used.

i'm not dead, i'm in pittsburgh always seemed kind of stupid to me when listening to it on the album. then i saw reid paley and fb for two shows in a row in nyc and they both played it each night - i saw it live four times in like three or four days.
after that, i couldn't get it out of my head. fortunately, it's an easy song to play and i've been learning to play guitar the last two months or so, so it immediately became one of my practice songs. :)

Actually Re-Make/Re-model is not an FB tune but a Roxy Music tune.. but yes, I was quite excited when he kicked off his electric set with that last tour.. it was ironic because I had just been discussing roxy music with the girl I went to the concert with and The Man layed into that tune and I jumped for joy! I saw Roxy Music on their final tour Summer 2001 and it was a great show! |

| For me, the latest would have to be 666. I never dug the song until I saw him do it live this last tour. He screamed it with such feeling that I've been listening to it quite a lot lately! |

I always liked 'All My Ghosts.' The first time I saw an FB show it was a solo show. When he did this song the audience sang along (including the ohohoh part - you know what I mean) and something about it really struck me. I never heard it the same way after that. There was something really cool about being in a room full of people singing along with solo Frank to all these songs I knew and loved.
Now that I think about it... the same kind of sing along thing happened at the Pixies show I went to, just on a much larger scale. |

That's almost exactly how I got hooked on this song -- hearing an audience sing along with the ohohohs -- though it was on a bootleg. I never saw the Catholics in person.
Grand Marnier and a pocketful of speed. We did it all day until we started to bleed. |

Yep, good selections!
The marsist, Whiskey in your shoes, 666, I want Rock'roll, 85 weeks, The snake, Skeleton Man, I'm not dead, Dance War, My terrible ways, Steak'n'Saber, Storage, The Jacques Tati, I'll be blue, Living on Soul,
and I would add "Jesus was Right" that i REALLY DIDNT LIKE AT ALL until seeing it live and really getting it totally.
I say those song should be re-recorded to make them sound as great as they really are!
For "terrible ways", it's not that it's poorly recorded at all, but it's such a luxurious recording... a dry one like the live at cafe du nord would be interesting. |

| "Wave of Mutilation", never one of my favorite Pixies songs, but live at my first FB and the Catholics show is was amazing. Also, like many I see, "I Want Rock N' Roll". And, though I liked it upon first hearing it, Rich's guitar on "Los Angeles" live is insane. :) |
