A Fresh Topic, What songs should Live redo? Options

[World Dreamer]

My question is what songs would you like to see/hear Live redo?

And I am not talking about doing them but just doing over with some tweaks (like the 4 on their website). I am talking about songs that if given a different sound could be incredible. Or songs with new lyrics (Believe) or with added instruments (Overcome) that could end up being something special.

Many of the Live songs you don't want to touch. They are perfect. But I am talking about those that you may skip or ones that you feel if they just had a little "more" then they would be great songs.

For me I think it would be cool to do an updated and more instrumentally powerful Susquehanna. I think some changes could be made to Flow and it would be a great song. Also, Sanctity of Dreams sounded promising aside from some (not all) of the silly lyrics. Same goes for Life Marches On. Make them both a little more gritty. And little heavier.

Thoughts?

I would be fine with ANY high quality recording of Susquehanna, I am pretty sure it's my second favorite Live song.

As it is, I've always wanted to have the final TDTH tracks WITHOUT the fade outs. I hate fade outs and there are several on that album that really deserved more. I'm looking at you Where Fishes Go. At least I got to hear the endings on the TDTH demo.

I don't know about Susquehanna, I love the song, that version from the Rhode Island University bootleg version of it is just amazing. But it is one of those songs where I think Ed absolutely owned it. There are a few Live songs where one member just steps to the forefront and demands attention, and to me that is Ed with Susquehanna, and you know I'm in the camp of being extremely happy with CS replacing Ed, I just don't know if he should go near this song. Hell I wouldn't even want 2012 Ed to go near this song, even more so than CS. So I'll stick with my RIU bootleg of the song, which I don't think could be topped even if there was a proper studio version done for TC back in the day honestly either.

But totally with you on the fade outs, they just sound so unnatural, when I go to see a band the songs don't just slowly fade to nothingness.

There's a few songs we haven't heard that may as well be redone and put out there. If this is the only way we're ever going to properly hear Hold Me Up, then throw that on the pile too for me, would love to hear that. As far as other already released songs go, if they want to re-record a few more and give them away as freebies then I'm happy to have them! But I'd rather them not take up too much space on an actual album or EP on rerecording stuff that we already have.

Yeah I really just meant that I want a quality version of the original recording. I may have missed the point of this thread...

I'm seriously happy with the RIU bootleg copy of it, the power and emotion in that song recording, not to mention the quality of the recording itself has me more than satisfied, as far as I'm concerned that IS Susquehanna.

But hey, if it's on offer, I'll take it
