They have been playing the "extended" 12 minute live version a lot this year which they really haven't done since earlier in the decade. I've seen them 5 times and the one time back in '02 when they played the 12 minute variation with loops was more than epic.
Man if you saw them on the street you would not think they were big rock stars or that that they have one of the best albums of all time, not in a million years.
I wasn't a big fan of the one they performed on the Clarity Tour; they seemed to be in a bit of a rush. They also forgot alot of the instruments that were used in the album version as well. I'm just saying that an eight minute performance is kinda half-hearted as the song is sixteen minutes.
The album version has tons of looping and electronic work that is impossible/impractical to recreate live. Their live version is pretty incredible considering the track.
@xLordOfTheFliesx I agree with you to a point...it was great what they did, though I just wish they had repeated a few of the vocal "Da Da Da" parts a couple more times. I wish Zach had rolled towards the end for more than a few measures. I agree...it's great what they did...just a shame that it ended so quickly. You can't really doze off to this version like the album version...too many changes and additions too quickly.
@xLordOfTheFliesx nope that is a lie! i saw them live just yesterday and they played the whole thing. like the whole thing. at least 12 minutes. and it was incredible. even way better than the cd version. it was stunning. you need to experience that yourself its indescribable.
@nudelsocke Yeah, they've been playing a 10-minute version using loops and other contraptions - it's amazing, but so is this version - the original is very calming, this one kicks your ass.
yeah, you're right. I only just discovered them through a friend. He lent me 4 albums and i have to say, i'm very very impressed. Needless to say i'm now a fan.

Everyone knows who JEW are. Futures and Bleed American are far well enough known to establish that, or worse they like Chase this Light...now most people think its not actually called Bleed American, but...

For the record, I'm not dissing Bleed American or Futures, though the latter is somewhat disappointing and led to Chase this Light(which I personally can't really stand)

dude the album version is way better cuz they don't do the whole song live and the very slow build is what makes the song what it is, beautiful.

On the shorter version the louder chorus works so much better. The 16 minutes version is bliss though.
