Songs that sound worse live

Originally posted by John Lehmann I love all the whoops! BLT does sound crummy. Also, Hooky's bass doesn't sound too good in perfect kiss, there's no attack. Listen to it(the video version doesn't count) There's no punch. However, I was luckey enough to see both revenge and monoco live. Hooky is amazing in a small club. I hope they do a club tour in the USA.

Try seeing Perfect Kiss live and telling me the bass has no punch. It kicks everything else into touch. More chance of Hooky personally appearing on here and threatening those who says his bass has no punch than there is of them doing a club tour of the US. Or any tour of the US.

Doesn't sound to me that you've heard TPK live, John. Listen to the BBC '87 recording, or one of the high quality CD-Rs floating around and I think you'll see the light!

Actually, I'm not too fond of the '87 Glasto version, towards the end I'm used to hearing Gillian's synth and Hooky's bass above all, and it's mixed all funny (at least to my ears).

I prefer other versions, such as Belgium '86, London Poly '85, Nottingham '84. But above all, the 9 min video version (not the one from Retro), Barney's guitar at the end is the most amazing he's ever done.

Shame I actually wasn't there to experience this masterpiece live though. :(

Yep, it's shite. If it hadn't got a catchy video it would have bombed. One of these songs that was made by the video. It wasn't even the best thing they wrote that year !

Spot on, Benny.

They were hardly prolific in 1987, tho' were they ? Toothache, 1963, TBTHOG and two reworked versions of old classics.

1963 should have been the single in '87 - it was just miles better than Toothache

I have a live mp3 of NO 'atmosphere', and it's not quite his range in the beginning but he finds his voice in it. I think it is a very beautiful and touching live JD/NO song and he makes it his own.

p.s.(I'm listening to it as I am writing this)

Yeah - BLT is one of those songs that is enhanced by the perfection of the studio... also it's really hard to dance to when the sequencer skips.

Everyone Everywhere is certainly the worst I've heard live, although the glastonbury '87 versions of TBTHOG, and True Faith were quite putrid (they've sounded much better, live, since).

atmosphere, heart and soul, blue monday, and bizarre love triangle just don't cut it live.
