Could I please go back in time about 10 years ago? I was just listening to "What a Good Boy" - the live version - by Barenaked Ladies and it reminded me. Hoo boy - they are something else in concert!

How do I know this? We saw them at a relatively small venue (about 1500 people) but we didn't really know any of their songs except "Jane". Which they performed, thank goodness. But when they started to sing "If I Had $1,000,000" and the audience participated and when, for their encore, they performed "Brian Wilson" and the whole place erupted, we could not appreciate what was happening. Not like we could now, anyway.

So I'd really like to go back and just listen to that concert again. It would enrich an experience of my life more than it already was.

I'm not a huge fan of live recordings - being there is one thing, but I don't really like to listen to live recordings. But there is one live song that moves me to tears practically every time I hear it (in fact, I posted about it a while back, I believe). It's "Break Your Heart" off of the Rock Spectacle album. There aren't the right words to describe this song.

And if I had any inkling of how to do it, I'd upload the song and provide a link here so you could appreciate it, too, but I'm a dork and I just don't know how to do that! So you'll just have to go find it yourself. Not the version on Born on a Pirate Ship, which is fine, but it's not the same song. It has to be the live version.
