By now, i think everyone has had their say on SusieQ's "Songs that sound better live" thread, so how about songs that do not sound better live. I think we all know at least a few.
Some that I've noticed over the years:
"Road Fever" by Blackfoot-KILLER tune off of their STRIKES album, in fact, it was the first Blackfoot tune I ever heard. When I finally got to hear their (supposedly) kick-ass live version from HIGHWAY SONG-LIVE, I kinda thought it sucked. Seemed like they played it too fast and a little bit sloppy
.
"Roll With The Changes" by REO Speedwagon-Awesome song, they do it ok live, but this song SCREAMS for two lead guitarists.
"Take Me Home Tonight" by Eddie Money-Probably wouldn't suck half as bad if Eddie wouldn't try to hit those high, Ronnie Spector notes himself.
"Cadillac Ranch" by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-On their PLAIN DIRT FASHION album, this song shits all over the Bruce Springsteen version, but somehow loses it's power in a live setting.
Others?

IT'S A WANKER NO MATTER HOW YOU HEAR IT!!
