Ok i could probaly do a list of everthing but rather do what comes to my head.
What tracks do you think are more epic live and which are basically a bit of a let down. Not saying they are crap by all means. Ill explain here.

Kittens. My favourite track on Beaucoup Fish but sounds a bit flat live to me.
Beautiful Burnout. Way better live and so many versions live!
Crocodile. I love the spirralling synth intro on the album and i wish it was played live or added more in the track. So without it it seems flat.
Peach Tree i think is just an awesome RiverRun track and slightly better studio.
Pearls Girl. So many versions live make this epic! Do love studio too.
Juanita. I would love to hear Kiteless and To Dream Of Love maybe as fill ins. Probaly hard to add live.Although To Dream Of Love is mashed in Juanita.
Sappys Curry anyone?
Over to you ;)

Twist definitely gets my vote. Live, it is one of my favorite UW songs, mainly because Karl's guitar just makes it absolutely epic. There's one performance that springs to mind, I think from a 2002 Heineken Music Hall show, where Karl's guitar playing builds alongside that 'siren' sound and just sounds utterly phenomenal. The studio version sounds so sterile in comparison, and I didn't even really like the track at all until I heard it live. Now I at least appreciate it for what it is.

I kind-of think Glam Bucket suffered a quite similar fate, but I still like the album version.
