A Stunning Taste Of Poison, + Roxy rev.

[poisontaster]

Wow, well I search youtube every few days to see new live uploads, and it's been awhile since any new "FTOP's" have shown up. Then today this showed up. It's from the Roxy a few days back, and I had to post it. Lzzy is in fantastic form, the best vocal I have heard live on this, really poured it out and felt it. (Ya know, unlike the other times when she's clearly just going through the motions and reading the words off her monitor so she knows where she is in the song) Just kidding Lzzy! But this is special, a really beautiful rendition. The only flaw, the cameraman thought the song was over before it was, or ran out of space. To fill you in on what you miss at the end she says "Of Poison".

I also found this fan made version combining the band live with some movie, pretty cool as well.

One thing I notice they changed from the studio version, lush keys aside, is AreJay does not play the continual high hat in verse 2 live as he does on the record. I'm torn on what's better, but I sorta lean towards "More cowbell!", oh wait, high hat , sorry. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Just found this Roxy review, and on the note of this performance the writer said...

She prefaced "Familiar Taste of Poison" with a smile saying, "You guys are some dirty sexy people in L.A. I'd liked call each and every one of you absolutely disgusting! I hope you know I mean that in the most loving way possible."

Laughs abounded, and the band began the hypnotic song. Josh Smith's bass rumble sounded ominous, as Lzzy drew the crowd closer with her croon.
