I like how it sounds on record. Effect on the vocals and all. I also think that's a fucking ace performance, though. The only thing I'd change in regards to An Open Letter...is that it should have been released as the second single and in bloody America.

OMG I love this performance. The energy and their chemistry and the way they sound live is amazing. I love both the live and the album version. I mean the album version and the intro always gets to me.

Seems like I remember Yauch saying in an interview that he regretted that Capitol did not make it a single in the US despite their encouragement to the label to do so. Anyone else remember this?

Yeah I think he said he wanted it to be the single after Ch-Check It Out and Capitol wanted to do Triple Trouble and the same thing happened after Triple Trouble with Right Right Now Now.

Side note:

He also said they wanted to do Right Right Now Now on Solid Gold Hits but Capitol would only let them put 3 tracks from TT5B on there.

I think Yauch said that on here.

I just like that the whole shit sounds a lot livelier. I don't know, I feel like they used to sound this live on their studio stuff. This clip is great though, nice to see it back online until MTV decides to shit on my neck

[DJ_Skrilla]

this is one of my favorite songs ever. and i think it was released as the 3rd single. first check it out, 2nd triple trouble, and 3rd Open Letter. I could be wrong but i Know I have the single for this...

check my NYC GRIMY REMIX. Its mobb deep vs Open Letter. Turned out good.

Cosignin'

This live version is crazy good times!

very nice.

It sometimes, sometimes, feels like they should finish recording and then spend a month performing them shits to see what shape they take as 'live' songs. Then they could go back and fucks with them that way. I cite the great ideas that came out of the Mix Up tour, and this performance, and head back to my assignment.

It's a fair shout, but don't you think it'd make live performances like that less special? Personally that's what I love about live music, bands fucking with their tunes a bit.

Should've been the first single.

Amen. It's straight up Pop. Love me some Pop.

I hear ye; I meant performing it in private, like in the studio to see what it becomes. Then we'd be none the wiser

[dave790]

Perfect solution.
