two step live - when he builds it up after all the solos - carter at his best

Okay, I put plain and simple. Any song. Your trying to show off his style? All of those songs are played by him and him alone on drums, correct? Well, that is his style. No way around it. Though, I know what you mean and Id say any live Trippin Billies, Grey Street (though, youd really have to understand musicianship to get the full blast of talent. There is more then what you hear in that song. cant explain) JTR and Old school ASTB. Anything that you think rocks due to him....there is your answer. I cant name all the songs.

I like Drive In Drive Out, he tears it up in that song.

You guys are forgetting one of the big ones, Old school and New school Halloween. The energy coming from carters drums is unbelievable, it just makes you wanna get up and bounce. 8)

Halloween is good, but it isn't like classic carter. It's a little straighter than what he normally plays. I like when he just goes crazy with these weird syncopated beats, and then the band just hammers back in on the one, like at the end of two step.

Live versions of 41 blow me away, especially his drumming during the jams. You never know is particularly crazy carter, with all those funky changes in the time signature.

carter drives like a truck. drive in drive out and two step..but pretty much every song should earn a "carter beauford on the drums!!" 8)

Its stays 12/8 throughout the entire song. He just plays one some off beats and adds ghost notes.

Yeah but still carter kicks some serious ass in that song even managing to keep up.

not too hard to do a 12/8 song.

Some of the older versions of Seek Up he goes berserk during the jam.
