Favorite SyX song(s) to hear live?

[Yngvai X]

I don't think I'm the only one to notice this, but certain songs sort of "come to life" more live than in the studio. Well if you've seen SyX live, what are some songs that you think sound better live than in the studio? For me its Church of the Machine and Smoke and Mirrors. For some reason every time Ive seen them and they play those they're always the highlight of the set for me, especially CotM.

.Evolution (The Grand Design). That song was so great to hear. As well as Wicked.
I'm sure there were others, but I saw them a while ago, and it was before I was really into them.

DWoT -Better on the live disk than on record

I don't own Live on the Edge of Forever but I've seen SX playing once(supporting Stratovarius at Tampere 21.3.2003). Inferno and especially Wicked(she saaaaaaaaaaid!-) sounded great. SX is a good live band for sure. Beated headlining Stratovarius on that night(IMHO).

 

[The Yngster]

I agree with Inferno and Wicked, both ruled at the concert I went to.

 

[Dream Symphony]

I haven't heard inferno live, but I have heard King of Terrors and Wicked and I think they sound better on the studio album. I hadn't even heard all of wicked yet when I heard it live cause I never even liked that song. Its my least favorite on Odyssey. I feel the same way with Smoke, and Evolution. They sound alot better on the studio album. I think church and divine wings are the songs that I feel are better live. But I still love the studio versions too.

 

[Pharaoh]

DWOT (I was gone for days after that live experience!)
Egypt
Church of the Machine
Inferno

 

[underullospell]

EGYPT!!!!!!!:hotjump: Jason rules on that song!!(and of course "Death of balance".)

Really I love them all live, Everyone I have heard live I have liked better then the original. Just becuz they put Sooo much heart and soul into those songs, to try to please the crowd, hey they do it all for us fans!!

SYMPHONY X RULES!!!!!

I Could go on and on...

"Wicked" was really awesome to hear. I love the way Russell sang it in Stockholm, he put so much feel into it. Still while I listen to it on the record I can hear the way he did it there. Wow!

 

[Luis]

TDWOT and Candelight Fantasia.

 

[Djm]

DWOT. Especially the end of the song.

And my dream would be to hear 'Wicked'.

 

[ElvenShadow]

Id say that both Wicked and Sea of Lies sound better live than they do on their respective albums. Another great live song is Smoke and Mirrors, though I don't particularly think one version is better than the other, it sounds awsome either way.

 

[Medusa's eyes]

The Divine Wings of Tragedy
Candlelight Fantasia
Evolution
Wicked
Of Sins and Shadows
The Bird-Serpent War
A Winter's Dream
Fallen
etc. etc.

I think I would like to hear all their songs live anyway

 

[shredmaster]

Definitely Sea of lies!!! The string skipping-tapping sequence in the middle on the live version on Live on The Edge of Forever totally rocks!!!!!!!!!

Awakenings floored me live.
