I mean, I get people being blown away by Thorn In My Side, LTOR, Any Other Day etc. live as they had some great arrangements and details added but for me New Years Day is pretty much the band standing on the stage playing a song that has been pretty disliked here. The speech before the song is very cool but the performance is nothing special in my book. Jon behind the mic stand smiling at certain times.

Once again, just a genuine question. I haven't seen this tour live so of course I'm a bad judge on how the new songs are coming across being there.
For me it was the catchy-ness off it. It's like a more aggressive That's What The Water Made Me. It's positive without bordering on bumper sticker positive. I wish Phil played the rhythm part on the album, it's so much beefier live.
