Same here. It's better than hearing something pointless like Who Says You Can't Go Home or We Got It Going On(it's alright live I guess)

It was so cool to hear the new arrangement of the piano version in 2000, but it was so NOT cool to not hear the song at all in 2001, though during the encores we joined in when m ypart of the crowd started chanting for it.

The electric version is a highlight of each show. But yeah, I wouldn't mind to hear the piano version again. I love to listen to the Osaka 2000 version, especially with the storytelling in teh beginning. I'd also like to hear the piano version of IML for a change. Or the piano version of "Die 4 You" which they did in a few times instead of "Runaway" if my memory serves me correctly.

Like the piano version, but not too keen on hearing it in a stadium - thought it killed the atmosphere at Wembley in 2000, but to hear it in a smaller gig (or a solo tour if JBJ does one) would be good.

You can't have seen it live?
1. It's a great re-working of a classic song, that works very well. Great lyrics, great atmosphere. Not some TLFR crap.
2. It probably saved my life Live at Wembley 2000. It was so good to get a ballad (along with BOR). The heat was high!
3. It think everybody enjoyed it.

Hehe, that's the funniest argument for a ballad I've ever heard. But true mate, so true... lol

It's a nice alternate rendition of the song but when watching the Crush Tour DVD, I often skip it. An intimate gig would suit it better, and IMO a studio version for TLFR would have worked.

Piano version is awesome! Then again, I tend to think piano anything is awesome.

And Memory is one of my favourite songs now.

No offens, but you were 10 years old whey they played it live. The odds are pretty small you saw it And if you did, would you really remember?
But again, no offens, as far as I know, noone chooses when they're being born
And in a live setting, it works very well as I've and others have said.

To you who thought my #2 was kinda weird. Yeah I know, but I still think it's a decent argument cause it had something with the atmosphere at the show to do

Yeah, I like it. But I love the electric version soooo much - that the piano version can't really come close to me. I just like the electric version too much, know what I'm saying? But it is good, all the same.
