U Got The Look - never quite sounds right live, always feels like there's
something missing.

Kiss - always tinkers with the arrangement (and usually speeds it up too much),
but it's virtually impossible to recreate the studio version live anyway.

The Most Beautiful Girl In The World - hardly ever performed in it's original
incarnation, he usually bases his live rendition on the Mustang Mix and sings
it in a lower register.


Also, a lot of the old Linn-Drum driven songs of the 80's often don't sound
as good when played using a real drummer.

Has Prince ever played "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic" live?
I'd love 2 hear that!

In certain circles this pronouncement is heresy of the highest order.

But oh so true.

Check out the Den Haag '88 aftershow for a blistering, guitar heavy version of this.

Also, I believe the last time "Rave" was played live was at the Oberhausen soundcheck in 2002, during the European leg of the ONA tour.
