How do you feel when you see Roxette songs that you don’t like being performed live especially if you are attending the concert?

Hmmm... can’t think of a single one. If anything, the songs I don’t like so much on record (like “The Big L.” for example) really come to life and are much more enjoyable when played live. If I had to pick though, I’d say that I prefer it when Rox play “Listen To Your Heart” and “Spending My Time” with the full arrangement than when they play them acoustically... it’s nice to hear the songs this way once in awhile (like on MTV Unplugged), but a whole tour seems to be too much... same for the “country” version of “It Must Have Been Love”... nice on “Tourism,” but a whole tour is too much.

Can anyone remember the joyride concerts. I still get a chill when I hear a recording. the moment Marie plays the intro to IMHBL and as soon as she sings ’Lay a whisper...’ the whole arena screams. i know I was sooooo caught up in the whole concert that i forgot about this song and when she was playing the intro I didn’t realise what it was. It was such an amazing feeling, makes me buzz everytime, Fantastic.

What’s wrong with certain songs being performed diffrerently in the concerts? More acoustically for example...
Don’t you think that “Listen to your heart” and “Things will never be the same” performed acoustically were awsome? I think it was cool to listen to someting familiar in a new way..makes it a bit fresh to be enjoyed....but this is only my opinion!
I love Marie’s piano version of “Spending My Time” made the song sound so deeper and more meaningful to me...
It’s nice to see how studio album versions sound like live... and if there are certain things in which Roxette are good is in doing difrt versions for some songs live...
Also cool to see CBB and Anyone linked live on the last tour...
Queen Or Rain steel pedal guitar ending...it creaped me totally perfect end for each concert....
And of course COY and Stars more rockier than the albums verions....
So far there has been no big Roxette i hated seeing performed live...
That happens cause songs like “View from a hill” or “Physical Facination” haven’t been performed live ever so...:)))) i don’t hate these 2 but i feel fine without them....:)

I don’t hate anyone, but I’m getting bored of some of them like Dressed for Success, Dangerous, The Big L... they allways sound the same =(

I disagree. DFS has been changed a lot, take a listen to showcase or RS live :)

TCOTH is just not a live song, marie’s accent just doesn’t keep up to the song, wish they could change the start of dangerous to the live version with the off-beat guitar
