The One Song... Options

[World Dreamer]

What is the one song that you would want Live to "redo" most of all?

Factors could be things like:

- It is your favorite song
- The original version sucked but has potential
- The song fits Shinn perfectly
- They never played the song much in concert so this would get it more play

For me it would be Graze.


*I am not sure if a thread like this was already done. Apologies if it was.

Wow Graze? that song is great as is.

I would want a lot of V redone with better vocals and lyrics. Cause the music in many of the tunes is great.

It is actually one of my top 5 Live songs. But I think Shinn could nail it and it never got much concert play or even small radio/acoustic gigs. All I ever hear is the album version and that song kicks too much ass to be limited to that.

The Dam at Otter Creek.
Ed did that song perfect during concerts and the album version was awesome, but TDAOC is a song that will fit perfectly with Shinn's voice.

Nothing beats Ed's TDAOC, but it will also sounds awesome when Shinn sings it, i'm sure about that. I think the people who saw him during the rehearsel show or the SXSW show can confirm that.

I think Shinn's voice would really suit Ghost well. I can just hear him crooning out "where did I go wrong?" I don't think the original needs improving, but it would just be a good fit for him.

Too bad i wasn't there..still waiting for my very first Live show. Hope they will come over here soon.

But it's great that you had 2 amazing nights of good music.

Easy, Transmit Your Love. The lyrics in the first part of terrible and should be replaced. Extend the guitar solo and it would make the song. When I listen to the beer down version of the song it make sme think that maybe the guys weren't satisfied with the final mix anyways. The song has potential especially when performed live. I could imagine Shinn chanting "transmit your love to me" and a crowd eating it up.

I thought of The last few songs on BoP but those songs would need a lot of work to be better.

I'm going way outside the box on this one...

...I wonder what a cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit would sound like through the vehicle of Live/Chris Shinn?

Can never have too many versions of Iris

OR

A more rocking version of Cheetah with Shinn belting it out!

Could see CS doing Iris justice.

Graze as well. Think the stars aligned when they picked him.

there is something to be done about Susquehanna. I like it as it is, but there could be more guitar work at some places or even a place or 2 where we could hear Pat's work more.

With the keyboards they had in March, I was expecting to hear Where Fishes go. I would like them to revisit this song and do something about the bridge. It is my fav from TDTH, but the bridge misses something.

These are my 2 choices.

I hope he does them Jayda, I asked him to learn them and several others which the fanbase hold dear.
