What songs do you think would be great live but never get performed?

[balohna]

I would love to hear Namaste complete with vocals as a final encore.

[facedownfall]

Car Thief needs to played again.

Mullet Head (for Adrock's guitar solo at the end)
Soba Violence
The Scoop
I Don't Know
Futterman's Rule
Michelle's Farm
What Comes Around
Unite
The Grasshopper Unit
Song for Junior
Peanut Butter and Jelly
Sloppy Drunks
The Vibes

[Kid Presentable]

If they're doing without Mixmaster, an electric version of I don't Know would be sweet. As well, a rendition of the FULL Get on the Mic would be nice. Whatever. They're cooking up some shit, I can tell.

UNITE!!!!!!! The most underrated song in the whole catalogue.

Futterman's Rule, Funky Boss, Bboys makin with the freak frizeek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[balohna]

Futterman's Rule is amazing. Pre-TMU it was my undisputed fav instrumental track. Now it's disputed, but still probably my fav.

[Laver1969]

I'd like to hear them bring back Prof. Booty and Finger Lickin' Good.

I think those would fit in nicely with the recent setlists.

[BeastieAlbum07]

Posse In Effect
High Plains Drifter
Needs a Tune Up
Shazam
Brrr Stick Em
Rhyme the Rhyme Well

[Tomtomtom]

UNITE!!!!!!! The most underrated song in the whole catalogue.

I heard it in Paris in 1999, it was a great moment! I love this song and hearing it was a nice surprise coz I never thought they 'd play it.

[Mr. Juice]

I would cry tears of joy to hear these songs live (I know they've done some of these, but not with me in attendance):

Professor Booty
The Vibes
Live Wire
Electrify
Unite
Dedication
Instant Death
It Takes Time To Build

[Mr. Juice]

Oh yeah, I forgot one, how awesome would it be to hear "Cookie Puss" live?!

[skra75]

LOL @ Unite.
That song is gayer than a thousand rainbow flags

Said it before but:

Bloody Well Right by Supertramp
Dirty Work by Steely Dan
Angela by Bob James
Darker Shadw of Black by Jackie Mittoo

[Travis Bickle]

With these live-band goings on, a rendition of Flowin Prose is a possibility. What do I know?

[Brother McDuff]

LOL @ Unite.

...but still not quite as gay as skra75.

[funk63]

"play all your song, please" :D

[MIKEtotheD]

I know it's been performed recently (2004), but I would love to hear In 3's.(y)

PUTTIN SHAME IN YOUR GAME

one of the wickedest beats i have EVER heard
i'm amazed they don't play this song much/ever

[pshabi]

PUTTIN SHAME IN YOUR GAME

one of the wickedest beats i have EVER heard

It's kinda slow and boring live.

[Rock On]

By far, the most creative thing they did at the recent live shows was where the incorporated the original songs they used samples from, the way they did Jimmy James and Jimi Hendrix's Happy Birthday, and Jimmy Smith's Root Down.
I'd love to see them continue in that vein, and here's a couple I'd like to see them add to the repitoire.

Alphonse Mouzon - Funky Snakefoot (Shake Your Rump)
Dead Boys - Sonic Reducer (Open Letter to NYC)
Eagles - Those Shoes (High Plains Drifter)
Gene Harris - Put on Train (What Comes Around)
The Kentucky Colonels - Shuckin' the Corn (5 Piece Chicken Dinner)
Chic - Good Times


you get the idea...

[Kid Presentable]

Definitely down for 'Those shoes'. Banger, no doubt.

[Rock On]

I need to hear "What Comes Around" in some form.

Dorris the Thinkasaurus.

[Kid Presentable]

Dorris the Thinkasaurus.

It would make a sick instrumental.

[canucklehead200]

not from what i've seen, i 've seen a clip from one of the tibetan freedom concerts and the crowd went pretty nuts moshing etc. when the beat kicked in , i'd just love to hear that PHAT beat on their speakers/system etc. such a ridiculously underrated song of theirs

[balohna]

OLTNYC/Sonic Reducer would be amazing... but OLTNYC is such a complete song in and off itself that it would be weird if in the middle of it they just went "Sonic Reducer! Ain't no user!", even weirder if they broke into a verse "Black, white, New York you make it happen.......Don't need no anyone, don't need no mom and dad..."

[Kid Presentable]

I've been meaning to ask: Why Namaste with vocals? The vocals are pretty much throwaway improvisations. The version on 'Sabotage' with only Hurricane saying "MCA, PLAY BABY!!" was much cooler.

[balohna]

I just think it's a great album ender, and I think it would be a great concert closer to. Like a post-encore-encore. Like they come back out and play a couple more songs then the lights go out and the song kicks in and the lights come back (but dimmer than before) and MCA does his thing. The only thing is that it's probably not easy to play bass and do spoken word at the same time.

[mathcart]

I'd like to hear them bring back Prof. Booty and Finger Lickin' Good.

I think those would fit in nicely with the recent setlists.

Word, I most definitely second these!(y)

"play all your song, please" :D

I'm so ready for this all day show- just have the venue pump in pure oxygen, we could go all night!:D

I need to hear "What Comes Around" in some form.

Dorris the Thinkasaurus.

FUNKY!(!)

[AndILoveMike!]

unite, sure.

and i think they haven't never played... hey ladies!!!

and all "some old bullshit", beastie revolution above all. that track is pure life

[beastieangel01]

last time I saw them was in 04 in NYC. I wanted to hear Shadrach so desperately! AGH

yes! Yes!! YESSSSS!! i love that idea!! he could make it happen. what a beautiful ending! :D

[Brother McDuff]

i thought it woulda been ill if q-tip showed up for a "get it together" performance on aifst. has he ever performed that track with the beasties live?

[MIKEtotheD]

It'd be really awesome if they brought some more Pollywog Stew shit back.
Holy Snappers would be awesome. (!)

[Mookie Blaylock]

I'd like to hear:

Futterman's Rule
Song For the Man (I know they've played it, but it seems rare)

Song For Junior
Instant Death
Picture This
Sneakin' Out of the Hospital
Time For Livin'
Railroad Blues
Country Mike's Theme

Yes...ATCQ toured with the Beasties on the HN tour. It wasn't an everynight thing, but they did perform it on occassion.

[sea_dragon]

I know it's been performed recently (2004), but I would love to hear In 3's.(y)

Yeah, I was really hoping that was going to be in the Gala set.

And I'll jump on the bandwagon for Prof. Booty, High Plains Drifter, and Hey Ladies.

I was also seriously jealous that they played Hello Brooklyn at the MSG shows. I want that bassline as my ringtone!
