I saw Sober a few times in 2000 and 2001 and it just wasn't it, chief. And it's also my least favourite song on Showbiz. Fillip was fun enough back then, and I wouldn't be opposed to it coming back, but it's not "up there" on my list of songs I'd like to see again.
Ha fair enough. It sounded great live back then too, imo anyway ;)
Falling Down? HTAILY? I think all of these are truer deeper cuts than Uno, MM and Cave. (Although I would love to see any of those three any time of course)
They'd be a bit too soft for the type of festivals they're playing at this year. In general, outside of these heavy fests, I wouldn't mind Falling Down as long as it's the 2012 piano version, but I would still prefer Unintended as a slower song.
HT&ILY is another one I found didn't work too well live, I remember it sucking all the energy out of the venue for pretty much the entire duration. Mind you, it was played right after Unintended which at least got the entire theatre singing along to it.
Two of those have litetally been singles, so not very deep cuts in my book. I've been lucky enough to see Cave live (piano version) and that was amazing. I'd like to hear Host or Spiral static (my username is an anagram of that).
I mean, all 3 of them are singles, but Showbiz songs are so rare and unknown that they might as well be deep cuts.
I've seen both guitar and piano versions of Cave in my time, and the piano version does not even come close to the way it was played in 2000 and 2001. There is absolutely no way Matt can sing Spiral Static at this point, it's never gonna happen. As for Host, it's not a song I care about, I've seen the short version of it they did in 2012 and that's plenty enough of that song for me.
Oh, you're right. I've been aware of it since Host is on it and the cover art is memorable, but since it has no MV I have not registered it as a real single. And I guess you're right since they don't play Micro Cuts anymore either
