I remember jamming to Low Light with you in Charlotte. Special moment right there.

This should not even be close. Daughter is a heavyweight champ. Low Light is the water boy.

Low Light is usually pretty rough live. Jeff is usually a bit off key. The Benaroya version is ok, but that's one of the few.

I'm not considering live versions for this round. I have in other rounds, but like platy said, Low Light is one of their greatest recordings. It sounds perfect. Live, the song is a little meh... the layers and subtleties are missing. It's a studio gem, and a border dud live.

This is insane. I can't decide yet. I have to think about it. This one's way too tough. I may just abstain all together.

Come on, Joey -- surely you remember Daughter from SNL? With the ad-lib tag, then the Neil Young tag? The repeating guitar lick? Other live performances have been similar...There is a sense of mystique in the back half of Daughter that is one of PJ's greatest strengths; that Lowlight, for all its charms, is lacking.

Your live versions argument has no sway here, friend. I'm team chud on that score.
