Which song is best performed live off of Lateralus?....
hmm, maybe the patient with its eon blue intro, or if you've had the chance to see Lateralus, uhh yea i think that would take the cake.
LATERALUS is by far the best song to see live I saw it In Calgary and Vancouver and the power during that song is intence....the whole crowd just sat and listned. wierd state of mind.
I saw the last show of their recent tour and they performed most of the album live. I have to say, the entire "triad" (Disposition, Reflections, Triad) was intense live. I'll never forget it. It was touching, deep, personal, and beautiful. Everysong sounded great live, but the Trinity of Lateralus was truly a transcendant thing
Since they're all amazing live, it's quite difficult to pick just one or two. I was in awe the whole time The Grudge was playing. Unfortunately, i ddin't get to see The Patient. The entire part after the intermission (D-R-T-Lat), however, blew me away. It was easily the highlight of my night.
The Trilogy and Lateralus were amazing, but I had a hell of a lot more fun trying to figure out the new intro to Parabol that they played the night I saw them. I think Parabol/a went from 10 minutes to almost 12 with that intro.
Definitely Lateralus for me. I thought I was gonna cry during that song. It's not so much the way they play it, but just the overall experience. It's without a doubt a perfect concert closer.
The prize for most improved song live goes to Triad, however. I never really got into it that much on CD, but live it transforms into something much more intense, even though (or maybe because) it has no vocals. I've seen them play it live only once, on the Dutch Ozzfest 2002, where they were joined by the Mike Bordin from Ozzy's band and Dave Lombardo from Slayer. They just went nuts up there.
