Boneyard or Midnight at the Lost & Found?
 

These two songs have a very similar theme. Both have that country vibe, both sound like an encore-type song (and both have been encores - Midnight was an encore in 1988, 1999, and in 2004 once or twice).

I just find Boneyard to be Midnight at the Lost & Found, modernized.

So, makes me question: which do you prefer?

For me, its Boneyard.

They are two completely different songs...

MATLAF Because I've never heard a live version and also I prefer it to Boneyard it's ranking pretty highly in my top 10

Exactly. It also depends on which arrangement of Midnight you're going for. If I get to choose the 1987 version then that wins hands down. If it's acoustic version or the 1983 version then no thank you. That said, I wouldn't say no to both of them if Meat wanted to do a country-rockish section in the show along with Testify, Live Or Die and The Future Ain't What It Used To Be. :twisted:

At the moment it's neither.

I have never really been a fan of 'Midnight' regardless of whether it's the studio version or a live mix and I don't really know the song 'Boneyard' all that well. It never really stood out when I heard it live in 2010 but I've heard that the song is just getting better and better live so maybe I might change my mind if Meat plays it when he next tours the UK. :D

Midnight, no contest for me

For me, it's Boneyard, I really enjoyed it on the 2010 tour.

I love "Boneyard" live. Meat finally made it back to NC (after a 16 year wait) last night and the crowd loved it, especially when "Freebird" kicked in. I like the studio version better also.

I prefer Midnight at the Lost and Found defintely, it is just something you can tell Meat worked with and is shows to be the basis of his style.

I found Meat turning any genre and making it rocking with an over the top feel.

It was the beginning of him mixing genres which can be found in Midnight at the Lost and Found, Blind Before I Stop, Couldn't of Said it Better, Bat III Monsters Loose, and Hell in a Handbasket

He worked with blues, jazz, classical, christian, rock, neo-rock, metal, and other songs that are a genre of their own. I just think Midnight was the blue print of so many of his future solitary albums.
