Lives that improved a song *significantly*

[Scribble R]

I know everyone's moved on with their lives now that Sanmon Gossip is out. But I was going through winamp and randomly stopped at my Spa and Treatment audio rips and listened to Sake to Geko, and was pleasantly surprised. I know people hate Variety, and my opinion of Sake to Geko was lukewarm before, but that performance was awesome! I actually played it a second time!

So the whole of Kyouiku (Minus Sounan, IMO) is the predictable answer. But are there any songs that you feel transcended the recorded version when they were performed at a concert?

[Orenji]

I don't like Dynamite out so I won't say such a thing. Tsumiki Asobi always sounds better live, and all non-KZK songs on Electric Mole sound better there *_*.

Poltergeist was one of the best performance in EM to me.
the album version reminds me too much of the merry go round
Koke de Kissu Shi on DO made me want to procreate a million babies
the album version not too much
sigma and crawl i never listen to
But they rock to death in the concert fashion
I love how crawl just comes in without stopping
and how hard shiina comes back in and rocks after the whole solos
and just blew the roof off
Obvious ones would be Ekimae and Genjitsu, Doppleganger,

[Scribble R]

That's pretty much my entire list, too. Thread over? lol

[Osiris12345]

If I killed your thread I'll be sad.

[Scribble R]

I think I killed it as soon as I posted it. I feel like a sad Shiina fanboy in a desolate wasteland!

[Tokyo Jihad]

Sounding good live != Sounding better live.

(Karisome Otome was awful live. Anything from "Ringohan" is the wrong answer)

[Scribble R]

I don't like Kabukichou Ringohan better than the original.

Karisome Otome (Expo) though, that is so much better than the original. Come on!

Edit: Er, actually the HF version is the best. Forgot about that.

[papilionidae]

to me, all songs in zazen are better than their album version =P
