Birds of Pray Options

I love this album. I skip the last two anti-war wanker songs. Not that I'm for the war. I'm against it, more than you can ever know. I just don't feel like Bring The People Together and What Are We Fighting For fit with the rest of the album. Plus they're lame and gratuitous.

An anti-war album would be fine, but I felt like the addition of those two songs broke the flow. If you listen to tracks 1-11 you have one of the most hard-rocking love song albums of all time (IMHO). Especially Everytime I See Your Face, Out To Dry and the most awesome Lighthouse! To me, it's also the most cohesive album since Mental Jewelry. Most of Live's albums are kind of mixed bags, especially Secret Samadhi and V. In fact, V is one of my favourite albums. It has several of the greatest songs of all time, notably Deep Enough, Transmit Your Love, Forever May Not Be Long Enough, Flow, The Ride(!), Nobody Knows and Hero Of Love. I generally skip the other tracks.

This is the thing about Live. Some editing is required. I hate to say that but that's how I feel. This is coming from a man who has a long love relationship with Pink Floyd, Rush, Grateful Dead, Yes and many other truly great bands. Yet I rank Live as my second favourite band, just below Rush, the greatest band on Earth.

I think it's great that I can express my honest opinion on this board. It's not like that everywhere on the internet. Without free speech, this method of communicating is pointless.

Thoughts?
