Actually, I've never really liked the album version of Betterman. They took it the next level in live shows, and I was really into it for awhile, but I never need to hear it again.

I really like the TB2k version of "Betterman". That tag, whatever it is, works really well with the song.

That and the tag on the Groundworks 2002 show are my favorite BMan tags.

^^ I'm on my phone so can't see it, but what's the chances of that being a Boston version?

Seriously though, that was pretty glorious. How unbelievably good were these guys in '98.

My heart tells me Smile. I listen to it more than Betterman, but, Betterman really is a good song. My favorite live versions are those without any tags (St. Louis 2000 is a good example).
