Yes, I agree, Peeled Apples sound just like an empty intro. There is one more reason - bass guitar. The record os based on huge rocking bass but live it sounds just like shit...

Especially when they can't do them right. I think they haven't heard the studio versions of some of the songs they play. God bless JFPL set played +- in 3 pieces!

I also think they should've had live strings on the whole tour, rather than just in London.
I also didn't particularly like 'Little Baby Nothing'

Send Away The Tigers also doesn't quite work for me live. The crunchy guitar lead doesn't quite have the same oomph and it often just sounds a little scratchy.

Yeah, Tristesse does seem to come into it's own live.
