Loved It Live

I'm embarrassed to say I did not like "Come Monday" when I first heard it. Then when I heard it live for the first time it instantly became one of my absolute favorites. A very beautiful song.

Heard him do Everybody's Got a Cousin in Miami a couple of years ago in, guess where, Miami.

First and last time I've ever heard it live. Pretty cool, especially considering the location.

Both of them prolly would not sound much different since they are excellent recordings with very little crowd noise.

Same here. I actually didn't hate it, but Autour certainly wasn't a favorite from FSOTW. It's a different song live, and I've liked it ever since.

really the last song he plays solo is usually a great one! They are much different than the usually recorded ones. So there are a bunch that were ok till I heard them live.

i have to say that son of a son of a sailor was an ok song for me....but the first time i saw him do it acoustic and solo, instantly became a favorite

For me it would be "Ragtop Day", but with that said, I enjoy everything when it's live at a concert. Maybe it's just the engery and all the cool people!

Another vote for Autour Du Rocher!!!

I remember it opening Set II in Cincy '02....

I HATED this song before finally "hearing" it live, this still isn't one of my favs but the mellow groove and trance-like mood it set over the crowd that night made it a very respectful song......

Its tough to find a song I didn't already love!

This is in the "Wayback Machine" but I did not like Coconut Telegraph when that album was first released. In fact I often set the needle (yes-vinyl, kiddies) on track two. When I heard it at Poplar Creek, I never skipped it again.

More recently, "Painted the Sky"
