Live version of Strange Kind Of Woman mebbe?
Which reminds me, Bryan might have stumbled onto a good theme the other night -
Songs where the live version is better than the studio one.

It was after hearing the Low Anthem doing Charlie Darwin. There's always one song that you love so much you think 'live' will be the absolute ultimate.
