Default Re: songs whose live versions are better

[ QUOTE ]
Not sure if you haven't heard Dispatch at all or if you just haven't heard them live.( Heard it off the "Gut the van" CD and as part of an all day "gagillion" bands type of show.)

I'm by no means a music asthete, but I would classify them as a neuvo Hippie sound or jam band, but with more of an upbeat sound and and less of (though not completely devoid) the 20 minute guitar solo. They have a generally relaxed sound with a slight dub beat influence to there music.

The Song is about a respected general who has a vision of the enemy and their family the night before a battle and and tells the men to go home and live their lives...he follows his orders.(more upbeat a song than it sounds)

I never even considered them as a jam band, but I've never listened to their live stuff. I don't particularly like their sound, but I appreciate that they're reasonably diverse. they're like shins lite [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
