4. November 27, 2000, Air Canada Center, Toronto, ON, Canada

- released on the bonus disc of the This Left Feels Right DVD.
The live version from Toronto 2000 has the the marching band intro from 1996 mixed as if there really was a marching band in Toronto. There wasn't, it's just the official recording they used during the These Days tour because no, the marching band was never live. No idea why Obie did this, but then again, it's not the only edit Obie did that made no sense as we all know the guy is absolutely clueless as to how live releases should be.
For the sake of just using common sense we'll ignore the atrocious TLFR stuff which makes 5 official live versions.
Salaam Aleikum,
