"Point Blank" is one of those songs that for me, doesn't stand out on the record, but can be stunning in a live performance. (I do love the lyrics- the "Bang, bang, baby you're dead" ending is chilling)) Unfortunately, though, people don't want to be quiet and listen.
I like this version where he threw in the "It was all, there, then it was all gone" line:

The same goes for "Drive All Night"- I used to think it was just OK until I heard it in St. Louis- it was mesmerizing. Unfortunately, the video cut off before the stunning "Don't cry now/ "dream on, dream on" refrain that ended the song.

On another note, did you notice the drumbeat in "Save My Love" is the same as in "Took the Words"? I know it's the "Be My Baby" Spector-ish sound, but still.
