I do really love party Why Go, but it's nice to be reminded of how this song used to feel a bit dangerous.

this may require multiple listens. Both of these are really good - and long road is a song that I think is often better live

Well, fuck me. This version of Why Go just shreds. This is the best era of aggressive PJ with Ed at his peak gnarly.

I can’t be mad at anyone voting for Long Road. That’s a wonderful performance of a very good song.

Why Go for me. This is one of the few tracks where the audio quality wasn't quite up to the standard of other Ten-era versions, but the performance demanded it's inclusion as the definitive version :nice:

Long Road for the win, though that's another song I think reached its' peak in 2000. The version on Touring Band is as good as I've ever heard it.
