LIVE's Most Underrated, what's your pick, and why? Options

[drewgood]

With all of the absolute CRAZINESS going on in the Live realm these days, and all the threads diving into each of the angles, and all the inevitable negativity of it, I thought it might be nice to have a positive thread in the midst of everything.

Apologies if this has already been done, but I want to invite everyone to share what they feel is Live’s most underrated song EVER, along with why they think so.

If it was ever a single or played on the radio, I personally don’t count it, since that clearly means it got some lovin’. But hey, go with whatever you personally feel.

My pick: We Walk In The Dream

The fact that this song has apparently NEVER been played live is absolutely astonishing, and the only reason that really makes sense to me is that the band is historically unimaginative, for the most part, when it comes to choosing set lists that really cater to their hardcore fanbase — people who have gone to at least ten shows over the years.

This song is brilliant.
One of Ed’s best vocal performances on the entire album, including his tracked-in backgrounds.

Amazing bridge.

Poignant lyrics that seamlessly match the message of love and hope that the band (and Ed in particular) were clearly going for.

Chord progression blending perfectly with the bass and Ed’s voice.

Melodies that took unexpected and brave turns throughout the track’s entirely.

And to have it “hidden” as the second-to-last cut on the album — sort of like, “we know the last song is going to have a bigger spotlight, but let’s see if you’re even ready for this one first.”

But most of all, plain out ‘re-listen’ value.
I can play this song over and over and never get tired of it.

Throwing Copper (and Ed’s voice on that album) will always be the pinnacle of the band to me — but as far as a VERY close second — this is easily up there, topped only by “Ghost” in terms of non-TC recordings.

Beautiful song. Just beautiful.
An instant classic - Top 5 of all time for the band — POSSIBLY top 3.

And yes, I realize most won’t agree with that statement at all.

But isn’t that the point of an “underrated” thread? Those songs that most people pass by, but if they only listen to a little more closely, might find themselves euphorically lost in the music?

Anyway, that’s my pick for Live’s most underrated song.
I would have LOVED to hear a demo version of this.
Or just ONE concert performance.
Maybe even an acoustic version.
Or all of the mixed/mastered tracks separated so I could listen to the guitars on their own, and Ed’s vocals, and Pat’s bass, and even Chad’s drums.

But what about you?
What’s your pick for Live’s most underrated song, and why?

Graze

a song I didn't really enjoy at first, but I came to love it, along with most of Secret Samadhi, for that matter
