Any song you never really got into until you saw or heard the live version? There are quite a few for me but I just thought of this on my commute this morning because it played on the car stereo.
Porcupine Tree - Hatesong

The Stranglers...Sometime. Hated it before I saw them do it live, now I love it. Same goes for Rushs Subdivisions.

Positive Change: Genesis - Mad Man Moon performed by the Musical Box (before, I could not find anything special about this song, but tMB did a great performance including a great show)
Negative Change: Blind Guardian - Another Stranger Me (totally intolerable, especially considering the sound, the (non-existing) atmosphere and the video playing in the background) |

The Revealing Science of God - on the Yes Keys to Ascension VHS. The song has had a new resonance to me ever since seeing that.

Not actually seeing it, but for a long time Sigur Rós' Untitled #7 was the worst song of ( ), but then I heard a bootlegged version from an acoustic gig by some of the band members and their friends and it changed the song for me. Now the studio version made it to the top 20 in my recent Ultimate Song List.

Hi,
None really.
I'm not new to music and got to see some of the masters and greats of the 20th century and felt no need to see "rock stars" or bands that thought they were doing music that is better and more relevant than Chuck Berry ... but unffortunately ... sometimes I think I would rather buy Bela Bartok a breakfast in paradise than go pay for another concert and be disappointed by the same Chuck Berry routine.
In general, I never thought that music had to be so insipid as to have to be exactly the same ... I had already heard 15 different Carmen arias and 15 different Verdi arias ... and when I bought a record and saw a band ... I never thought that it would be any more important or so different as to be something else ... it could even have new interpretations ... but what the heck ... Maria Callas didn't?

I was supposed to see them live last year, i was um-ing and ahh-ing for a month, and in the end decided not to go because i thought it would be too intense (would have been my first concert you see, i went with Iron Maiden as my first though
 ) and then their music 'clicked' a week after the concert  im still hoping to see them one day...as for the original question, i never really liked Pain of Salvation for a while, then someone linked me the live version of 'iter Impius' on youtube, seeing Daniel's amazing vocal work and that emotional solo changed my mind, now they remain one of my very favourite bands

Not that I didn't like it, but Yes' performance of "The South Side Of The Sky" during the 2004 tour (San Jose, CA) was awesome.
