Song with the most alternating lyrics???

Post by billywestom »

I was looking at this site ( http://dmbalmanac.com or http://www.justdmb.com ), which I had never realized existed until recently (it's a cool site!), and I noticed that there is a section with some different versions of songs that Dave sings. I wasn't surprised that "Say Goodbye" seems to have the most alternate vocals. You can see it here:

**So I am asking what you all think are some other songs that Dave usually improvises a lot on as far as lyrics...
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well, and I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been...

I cant remember what show it is but I know I have a cd (Dave and Tim I think) where before playing Say Goodbye Dave says something along the lines of, "I can never seem to remember the words to this song so Its different everytime I play it" Or something like that. I might look for it and edit my post with the real quote. Anyone ever heard that though?

Raven used to be the ultimate. That song is a shadow of its former self now. I used to really enjoy hearing new and different lyrics to every grey st, but that stopped with the release of BS as well. :(

Gonna have to agree with #40

it sounds to me like you're talking about storytellers actually. i believe it's something like, "the words are always changing, 'cause I am always forgetting them..." what's so hard about the lyrics to remember??? :D
