Ledbetter is certainly in the conversation.

I've never heard a live version I liked, but the studio version is perfect.
That was my second choice
I don't like how the snares sound in the studio version. Too thin
It's also kind of annoying how Ed does a self-fade vocally at the end there

This is incorrect, sorry.

This is the first song that came to mind. Followed closely by Tremor Christ. I've never heard a live version of either of those songs that delivers the way the studio versions do. In My Tree is another that comes to mind.

Rearviewmirror and Insignificance come to mind.

Yeah, Insignificance is a good one, too. Though I think I've probably heard a live version or two that holds up.

They've never matched the studio versions of Sad or Hold On, either.

He's certainly never played the part better live so this is a good choice

For those of you saying Go, I'm curious what your thoughts are of hearing it live.
Not on a boot but at the show.
The studio recording of Go is special in its own right.
I've been floored by Go live, and that was in 2014. I can't imagine how powerful that song was at a show in the mid 90s.
Live recordings don't do Go justice.

The atmosphere in the studio track will never be replicated live and Eds voice is on point. Same for Fatal, Otherside, Ler me Sleep...
As for album tracks that had a good amount of live performances, I'd say Sleight of Hand, No Way, State of love and Trust (ok, unplugged is great).... Go is great live. The studio version just dont keep the weight of the intro/chorus in the verses...
