I was listening to a cd - a random selection of Live tunes - while in the shower last night.

I have to admit I wasn't really paying much attention to it until "Run To The Water" came on.

Holy shit... that is one fucking 100% brilliant Live song right there.

smashed to smithereens,

To me, Run to the Water is immensely overrated. It's probably my least favorite track from the first four albums. I've really never liked it.

Tabucky:

Just curious. Other than its fairly standard structure, what is it, technically, that you dislike about the song?

Overrated? Yeah, I think a little. But it's certainly an emotionally-powerful song in my opinion. I'd take RTTW any day over We Walk in Dream (yawn).

I'm going to have to disagree on this one. Not on the RTTW part, though. I like that song as well. But, We Walk in the Dream, in my opinion is one of the most underrated Live songs. Its so amazing and powerful!

The guitar work is so simple, yet so powerful/emotional on that track. Its such a "Live" tune because of the "less is more" approach to the guitar work. Its catchy, yet unique and has many layers. Awesome song!
