Alive was written for precisely these sorts of soul crushing moments - that no matter how much RM disappoints you, you can find the reserves of strength needed to persevere

My hope is that "Alive" fails to lift your spirits, you fall into a profound depression, and you finally understand "Sleight of Hand" as it's meant to be understood.

which, in turn, will only serve to make Alive that much more powerful! what a perfect loop of sympathetic feedback

You could use the total number of excellent live performances of each song to inform your vote.

So we have the one song that's an institution for a HOF band that helped put it on the map and that is easily the apex of any live show for most fans getting beat out by a slog fest on the backend of an otherwise forgettable album for those same fans that bores people so much that the band rarely plays it live? Got it.

SoH is a terrific Cameron-era track, and is singular within their catalog. But it's not half the song Alive is.

I tried to find out how many times each of these were played on the 2000 tour, but I can't find it on the official site. When did they stop tracking that?

On the 2000 tour, they played Alive 20 teams, and Sleight of Hand 19 times
