I love the bit on the album version where the bass joins in the intro, it really does make the hairs on your neck stand on end and playing it live with the band it does the same thing. The whole song is brilliant and I hope he does go back to something a little softer on the ears by the time the <crosses fingers> 2011 UK stadium shows come around.
It obviously sounds different in YT vids to how it sounds live but the main thing lacking from the concert performances of the track for me is the heavy bass from the kit. The bass really drives the song IMO as the guitars throughout are pretty soft sounding in general.
I think the song is fantastic but they have yet to figure out how to play it to its full potential.
