LOG live.    :lol

I love the sax/guitar exchange on the live intro to TOL.

Solid Rock had a great one, that from the  Mandela show for example. Also Money For Nothing in 2001 with that blugrass style intro was great. The intro from Postcards in 2013 was better than 2015 and quite original. And I loved Calling Elvis from 2001, too, that atmospheric  and astonishingly meditative sound that made Mark's first words sound so impressive.

Agree about Broken Bones being a failure. It WAS cool in theory to really pick that song from the record and play it live. The clapping and Richard's part are cool, but Mark's lazy rhythm playing and half-arsed singing really annoyed me. It just didn't work. Mixing up two threads here ...  :smack

The synth intro sounds and the flute at the beginning of Ride Across The River were phantastic, too...
