I cant sort them in a patriarchal, cant decide which is best, also I try to avoid live versions. But I couldnt leave Dirty Day from Sydney, also there is some of the new songs; Volcano, CR, LH and SLABT. But they are new songs for the moment, so I have to see if they will stand the the test of time.
