the studio cut is a rarity:

1. Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry
2. Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like We Do

Jane's Addiction - Jane Says

12/27/2010 2:54:21 PM

What? The studio version is not only not a rarity, I'd say it's a good bit more commonly heard than the live version(s), at least on any radio station I've ever listened to.

12/27/2010 3:00:02 PM

"I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick

The studio version isn't a "rarity," but the live version is more well-known and usually the one on classic rock radio rotations. Does that count?

^^yeah, we'll count that. I don't know if I've ever heard the studio version on the radio. You'll heard the studio version of Surrender sometimes, but I Want You To Want Me is pretty much always the Budokan version.

[Edited on December 27, 2010 at 3:07 PM. Reason : although I agree, the studio version isn't a "rarity" to the extent of the 2 that I listed]

12/27/2010 3:05:40 PM

I would say Lake of Fire and The Man Who Sold the World, but I don't think there even are studio recordings of those by Nirvana.

"TURN THE PAGE"

^ Good call. Does a studio version of that song even exist (by Seger, I mean)?

^^ No, there aren't--they're both covers. The former is by the Meat Puppets (and there is a studio version, which is no more rare than anything else by them, save maybe Backwater.) The latter is by David Bowie. The Bowie version was a hit for him--the title track of one of his albums (which I have a copy of on vinyl, incidentally).

apparently "Turn The Page" is on Back in '72, but I don't own it.

12/27/2010 3:50:39 PM

^^ beat me to it on the meat puppets/david bowie stuff.

"Jane's Addiction - Jane Says"

was the first thing I thought of. Maybe it's just the stations I listen to (or better yet DON'T listen to), but I know I haven't heard the studio version on the radio in over 10 years. In that same times I've heard the live version 100 times or more.

12/27/2010 3:56:22 PM

"Cocaine"

12/27/2010 4:00:46 PM

are there any peter frampton songs that come on the radio that aren't from his damn live album?

12/27/2010 4:14:46 PM

adam sandler - the Hanukkah song

12/27/2010 4:19:10 PM

^I think 99.7 in charlotte plays a non-live version of "Show me the Way"


I've never heard a studio version of Kiss' "Rock and Roll All Night" on that station.

12/27/2010 4:20:32 PM

Jackson Browne - "The Load Out" (followed by "Stay")

12/27/2010 4:52:40 PM

Pretty much any Little Feat song

12/27/2010 5:09:38 PM

^yup, came to post "dixie chicken"

12/27/2010 5:19:41 PM

I can't remember the last time I heard "Folsom Prison Blues" on the radio. However, I'm pretty sure it was the live version.

12/27/2010 5:41:36 PM

the motor city five's entire first album?

12/27/2010 6:44:11 PM

we have different definitions of "well-known"

i interpreted it as a band/song that is known by many

which songs off that album got frequent radio play?

12/27/2010 7:33:57 PM

KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHERFUCKER BROTHERS AND SISTERS

FWIW, the Kick Out the Jams LP peaked at #30, and "Kick Out the Jams" hit #82 on the Hot 100...not exactly obscure.

In the spirit of the thread, though, I enjoy the live-in-studio version of the song from Thunder Express much more than the more famous version.

12/27/2010 7:37:01 PM

The Prodigy - "Death of the Prodigy Dancers"
