The studio version is a "meh" for me. This one's quite a bit worse.

Love the music's energy. But I can barely understand a freaking word he is singing. Annoying.

Prefer the studio version but I won't turn the volume down on this live version.

Love this set. Two great live versions in a row. Where's my guitar ...

I hate giving a live version the same high rating as I do the original. Just doesn't seem fair.

I gave this a 5 last time around. Sounds about right. It's such a generic sounding song that it's neither good nor bad.

Bowie to Bowie via Nirvana to MMJ. Sublime, not the band but the actual word for this set.

I also agree. Since I'm not nearly as articulate as you, I'll just say this sounds mushy. |

I agree with losing a lot of the texture. But the fact that they're playing this about 30 beats a minute faster than the studio version turns it into a rocker, and I can take this on its own merits. I still prefer the studio cut, but this flat out got me moving in my seat. |
