Yessongs (surprise!)

The only songs on there I don't prefer to the studio versions are And You And I and Roundabout; ironic because if you're ever able to SEE them live, AYAI is probably the best experience.

Yeah, the studio overdubs on Yessongs really gives it that "wish you were there" feel LOL

What?

Golden Earring's 1977 live cover of the Byrds' "Eight Miles High" is the definitive version. It does a lot more in 10 minutes than their studio version did in 19 minutes (on their 1969 album).

"Golden Earring Live" is my favorite live album by the way.

Same with the live footage; who wouldn't want to watch Steve Howe's hair whip back and forth like a car wash?

I'm surprised no one has posted Hocus Pocus by Focus

How about some Edgar Winter

The live version of Los Endos from the Seconds Out show - I prefer it pretty much than the studio recording, however I didn't feel the same with Dance on A Volcano (from the same show), the studio version of this song still appeals more to me.

About Los Endos, I like much better the live version from Hackett... I think it's the one on Tokyo Tapes (with flute, and perhaps sax too). Actually, I don't really like the original version so much... but this version I really enjoy a lot.
