Thumbing My Way (Vancouver 2003-05-30) vs. Lukin (Berlin 1996-11-03)

Thumbing My Way.

Look, we all know the best Lukin was slow Lukin, and it's usually a song I have no time for live, but that was a good version

I’ve always loved Lukin

Thumbing My Way is pretty boring.

Sometimes (often) I forget that Thumbing My Way is actually a very good song. This was a helpful reminder. Great version - better than the studio version. Just a little bit livelier without sacrificing the emotional weight. It may actually enhance it since it loses the sad sack quality the studio arguably has.


Easy vote for TMW

yeah, that happens to me too. When i first listened to it i was blown away.

I expected to vote Lukin here before listening to these. But, this version of TMW, a fairly boring and stifled studio track, really opens up in a live setting. And, it gets my vote today.

I hate Lukin so effin much. The only thing that song has going for it is its brevity.

I voted for TMW. Not because I hate Lukin but because Ed seems to.
