sometimes both are great. another example if you have never heard Chris Cornell sing Black hole sun unplugged by himself(yahoo version), do it, its plain mesmerizing
Some songs and bands sound better live(or unplugged). Silversun pickups being a great example(there unplugged is way better then studio). Even though I would still love to hear 1979 sang in person, the studio version sounds better(more mellow).
not tryin to offend anyone but they usually suck,so this is truly amazing,i meant to say they suck live usually,or are not that good live but this,true amazingness
Pumpkins played great in Belgium this summer, although they didn't play 1979, disarm, tonight tonight, siva, landslide, zero, today, and a few other tracks you are waiting for and want to hear. Bullet with butterfly wings was the only 'classic hit' (known for everybody) they played. Even I as a big fan expected that songs, they did play a few of that songs a month earlier in Holland. Pitty
Hmmm....Friday 3rd November 2000 at Wembley Arena. It was the last song they played and James Iha gave all the band members a funny introduction? Someone tell me I'm right and that I didn't just dream being there!!!!
Reminds me of GTA IV :)
Love this song really much

Fantastic song, fantastic version. I like the fact everyone's playing guitar/bas on the song. Like James' clothing :)
Please come back D'arcy and James.
Even though I like Jeff and Ginger (she's got style!). Oh, and of course Lisa :)
