Insignificance is a top 5 song for me. Porch is a good song but it's always been toward the bottom of my Ten rankings.

Yeah, but now watch any of the Europe 2000 performances of Insignificance.

Insignificance is a song that I think totally loses its character and appeal live. The incredible atmosphere is what makes that song and its just lost live. I don't know that there's ever been a version of Insignificance live that has done much for me - it's maybe the Binaural song that translates the worst in my opinion. It turns into a somewhat featureless generic Eddie rocker. Even super atmospheric stuff like NAIS and Off He Goes can work really well live. I don't know what it is. Also I hate that pause

I'd say this might be going a bit far, but overall I'd agree that the song is better in the studio. But I think that's in large part due to the fact that it's one of their rockers that's least conducive to their playing approach as it's evolved over time. It may not have equaled the studio version, but the song was fine live in the early and mid 2000s, when they tended to be rehearsed, sharper and on longer tours.
