Says the only known performance was 17th September 1996 at Madison Square Garden in NYC.

Neither SP.com or RSPAA has it.

RSPAA has the concert on the 16th of September though... :mad

Dance, Billy, dance.

As far as I know they haven't performed it live - or at least not in full. If they have I'd love to hear it. I always thought it would be cool if they did a live acoustic version of it. I live in hope...

I often hear on forums that fans don't like it much, but I LOVE this song.

It's so frantic, energetic, furious...

It's like the Pumpkin's version of "tourette's" by Nirvana.

"Love" is pretty much the only song that doesn't do it for me. But I don't skip that because I enjoy the mind-fuck.

Dance, Billy, dance.

Yeah, I like Tales of a Scorched Earth and if you actually can find a live version of it then please do post it.
But yeah, I remember reading somewhere that Billy didn't like playing it live because it was too much of a strain on his voice or something, but don't quote me on that.

So he should do an acoustic version of it like I said! :)

i don't mind the song, but this is probably my least favorite song on mcis.
"The impossible is possible tonight!"
"Love is suicide!"

I agree with you. I love it.. "why do the same old things keep on happening?" hell yeah.

I don't think there is one song off MCIS that I skip actually..

I love Tales of the Scorched Earth. Its a great song. I wish someone had a recording of it live though. :(

I also agree with darcysiva. All of MCIS is great and I don't really skip any songs off of it. The only one I might skip is Take Me Down, which is my least favorite on the whole album. Other than that the album is perfect.

i don't understand why people don't like take me down... it's not great but it's nice to listen to at night.

not meaning to totally rag on James, but it sounds kind of cheesy to me. its just overly sappy and sentimental.

i agree with blueczarina, not trying to put it down, i just don't really feel the song. it is alright, but not my cup of tea.
