What are your favourite 'moments' on the ONA Live album?

DON'T just name the song titles themselves but favourite moments within the performances.

For example, the guitar breakdown at the end of The Rainbow Children leading to, and including, the opening chords of Muse 2 The Pharaoh. I absolutely LOVE that moment!

The start of the second verse on When U Were Mine where it's just Prince and the guitar! On the original recording there was a pause of around 7 seconds, but this has been edited on ONA Live. It's a lot of fun to grab a guitar and play along with! horns

Since I had not attended the concerts in Europe and not
heard all the boots yet of the american ones, I was very
pleasantly surprised when I listened to Muse2ThePharaoh
and heard him break out the guitar on that one.

That spoken parts about 'talons and arrows' is a lot more
fierce than the studio version. I liked it a lot.

I also love Avalanche with the added horns, it gives it
a real jazzclub vibe. It's perhaps the most intimate
moment on all 3 discs.

The third thing that comes to mind is Renato's solo on
"Dorothy Parker", it's wonderful.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

nod YESSS. I always wait for this part!

The several breakdowns in "Everlasting Now" ("I'm from Minneapolis, we don't play that!") and the aftershow performance of "Joy in Repetition" are also highlights for me.

My favorite moment is in Joy In Repetition when I realize that he is not just gonna sing part of the song but the whole thing. Also, I love the part on Adore when he says "you smashed up the ride".

Could somebody please go to P&R and answer my questions about TRC?

My 2 favorite moments are 1.)Joy and Rep guitar solo & 2.) Muse - the beautiful style that he sings out the lyrics on this tune more so that when he begins to speak them out later in the song..

Actually, that's no guitar but a distorded e-piano (I think a Fender Rhodes). He also plays it during the first part of Xenophobia.
If you like that part, I seriously recommend checking out the Berlin concert. He extended that part there. Man, I remember him playing that solo... he watched his hand as if it was doing something VERY wrong!

Sweet Baby rapped over the Muse funk breakdown during the soundcheck in Paris (from what I can remember...) AMAZINGLY FUNKY!

Someone commented here that the several solos in Everlasting Now almost overlap each other, as the musicians pass the baton along. Those breakdown solos sound remarkably interwoven.

I have 2:

Nothing Compares 2 U: this is probably my favorite moment of the show disc. It's a great version, I love the way the crowd gives it up as soon as he goes into it. But the BEST part is during Candy's solo... "Hands up for love, y'all!" love love love It just sums up the entire night - you're into it, it sounds great & it's all love in that moment... love disbelief heart

Xenophobia: the whole song is TIGHT. I love the way P makes a point to showcase everyone in the band b/c he doesn't do it alone nod When he kicks it to Maceo, it's just cool... "Come on Maceo, blow ya horn!... Y'ALL KNOW WHO DAT IS??!!" Again, it sums it up - how good it sounds & respect due to Maceo as a legendary performer.

I'm SO listening to this on the way home tonight mr.green
