I always thought that AFL was far better on the album until I saw Meat perform it live on the CHSIB Tour a few years ago and he blew me away with the emotion he packed into it.

I think what I prefer on the album version is the higher pitch that Meat comes in at. On the live renditions over the past few years Meat has really bellowed the opening line (which I think he's said he does partly because he wants to pack more emotion into the start of the song). The live versions also tend to cut out the "when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls" verse which is my favourite part of the album song (which I understand is for timing purposes). In terms of reciorded live versions I think the LATW recording most closely resembles the album version.

Pretty much every song from Bat 1 I actually prefer live, especially since I found out Meat's voice was sped up!!!
