However, i truly believe that force of nature is really one of the songs that benefits greatly from the production. Infallible is similar.
You are so right on both of these. I'm pretty sure they detune both of these live as well, which kind of robs them of their vibe. Put Getaway in that basket too.

Force of Nature is so weird. I'm thinking it might be awesome.

You liked a fat Eddie Vedder wheezing and spluttering on live TV?

The idea of FoN I have in my head is always pretty bad. But then I listen to it and I like it.
