More likely, he thinks the device used to show you direction and always points north is called a fuck.

I used to think this song was great live, and it still is, but lately I've realized that this is one of those songs where the studio version blows all live performances out of the water.

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve never heard a single live version that I like better than the studio. Same for Sleight of Hand.

Yeah but a lot of their songs translate well live, so they are close in comparison. But this one, man, live doesn't come close to doing it justice

Did they play it at that Chicago '98 show that MJD keeps posting? Might want to reserve judgment if so.

I love the Letterman version, where the crowd sings along, but the album version is certainly a different animal.

I'm not even kidding. This video is making me insanely emotional. Not because its beautiful (which it is) but because this Eddie no longer exists. He's dead. This band is dead. Its so beautiful. What happened to them. Where did they go :(
